Product Description
2012 1 oz Pure Silver Coin – Canadian Wildlife Series – Moose
Large area, low density of population and the virgin territories of Canada is an essential place of habitat for many animals. Canada is home to approximately 70,000 known species of plants and animals, and perhaps many others who have yet to discover. The fourth silver coin in the Wildlife series pays tribute to the most typical and the biggest land animal of Canada, the gorgeous moose.
The obverse of the moose silver coin displays the portrait of Her Majesty Elizabeth II. The obverse also includes the inscription indicating the Queen’s name and the legends denoting the face value of the coin as well as the year of the issue.
Shown on the reverse of the coin is the colorized image of the moose, the governor of the thick Canadian forests. It is portrayed in its native environment – beautiful autumn forest. Due to the shortness of the moose’s necks, they are unable to graze; their main food consists of leaves of willow, young shoots and birch, sometimes water plants. The female moose gives birth to one or two calves at a time, after the young are born, they drink the nutritious mother’s milk, which is very high in fat and because of this the little moose grows very fast. The mother moose can be tremendously protective of their young, and people should take cautions when approaching anxious cow moose. Canadians like to depict the moose in cartoons, serials as a laconic, funny and good-natured but not too clever creature.
These coins are enhanced by a private mint in Germany with a limited mintage of 5000 coins worldwide !
