2021 Canada $30 Imposing Icons - White-Tailed Deer Fine Silver Coin (No Tax)

The White-Tailed Deer is the third coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's Imposing Icons series, which invites you to get up close and personal with Canada's wild animal icons. With a 50 mm diameter, the coin's reverse allows you to look deep into its eyes without any risk of startling it. This might be your closest encounter with the white-tailed Deer!

In Canada, the white-tailed deer is the most common and widely distributed large mammal. If you come across a white-tailed deer, it is likely grazing in woodland edges and pastures. However, be sure to stay quiet as the deer startles easily. At the first sign of trouble, it raises the alarm by flagging its brown tail to reveal a white underside (hence its name) as it gallops out of sight. White-Tailed Deer's are able to run at speeds of 58 km/h.

Designed by artist Maurade Baynton, the reverse features a selectively coloured, close-up view of the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). The finely engraved backdrop showcases the forest, one of the deer’s many habitats in Canada. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Special Features:
• A never-before-seen view: The Royal Canadian Mint's wildlife-themed coins have featured full body or side-view portraits, but rarely a front-facing one-and never one with such a close view that you can almost feel the animal's breath.
• From Canada, with love: Canada is known for its outsized wilderness and wildlife, and these coins perfectly capture the rugged beauty of both. It's a four-part celebration of Canada's untouched corners and the wild creatures that quietly inhabit them.
• Selective colour instantly draws the eye towards the wildlife, but the wilderness in the background is every bit as breathtaking. From mountains to forests, the Canadian landscape is beautifully re-created thanks to finely detailed engraving, with multiple finishes to add extra dimension.
• A larger diameter (50 mm) draws you deep into the wilderness. Imagine taking a photo of the landscape when the elusive animal suddenly appears and steps into your shot—it's the perfect view of a wild Canada.
• Limited Mintage Worldwide. Only 2,500 coins will be made of this sought-after coin.
