The Elk
With its multi-tined rack of antlers, the elk or wapiti (Cervus canadensis) cuts a distinctive figure in the grasslands and forests of western Canada and Ontario.The second-largest member of the deer family is particularly impressive to see or hear during the rutting season, when the male emits a chilling bugle that shatters nature’s silence. This fine silver coin captures the majesty of this antlered Canadian icon, with an exquisitely sculptured embellishment that conveys its authority and might in the wild.
