2025 Canada $20 1-oz Silver Animal Portraits – Elk Gilt Proof w/OGP

A Stunning Portrait Of Canada's Impressive Antlered Elk

The second coin in Canada's Animal Portraits series offers a striking close-up view of Cervus canadensis–more commonly known as the elk or wapiti. One of Canada's largest land mammals, the elk is an enormous animal with a hoof-to-shoulder height of nearly 5 feet. The animal is even more impressive with antlers that can weigh up to 20 pounds each, with a spread of up to 4 feet. In some cases, a mature bull elk's antlers can weigh up to 40 pounds! Those antlers are on full display on this coin's reverse, which places you by the elk's side in a design that effectively emphasizes the animal's large heft and height.

Design Creates An Immersive Effect In Pure Silver

Featuring some of Canada's most magnificent wildlife species, the Animal Portraits series features the nation's most magnificent wildlife species captured in unguarded moments and in natural settings. This coin shows a male bull elk; its head and antlers extend beyond the coin's frame. This design creates an immersive effect that blurs the line between observer and wildlife, bringing you face-to-face with this majestic species. This design reveals a rare close encounter with this impressive animal, seemingly unaware of the viewer's presence, as it casually steps out of the framed center portion.

Not only were these legal-tender $20 coins struck by the Royal Canadian Mint in an ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver, but they've been selectively plated in vibrant yellow gold. The selective yellow gold gilting leaves the Elk in shimmering silver on the reverse and King Charles III plated in yellow gold on the obverse. The contrast is even more breathtaking thanks to the coin's gorgeous proof finish, the result of using hand-selected planchets, polished dies, and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields!
