| 裏面の説明 | The reverse presents a finely engraved composition by Stan Witten depicting a bull caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in full frontal stance, rendered with naturalistic precision against a panoramic northern Canadian landscape. The animal's impressive rack of antlers spreads broadly across the upper field, while its powerful body and long legs occupy the central ground plane. The caribou's head is turned slightly to its left, the right eye meeting the viewer directly, conveying alert presence. Below and flanking the subject, snow-dusted rocky terrain and characteristic boreal spruce trees recede into the middle distance, with a range of mountains rendered along the horizon. The peripheral and exergual inscriptions read CANADA 2013 PL 10 DOLLARS, identifying the issuer, date, finish designation, and denomination. |

This piece belongs to the RCM's "Iconic Canadians" bullion series, which launched in 2013 as a direct competitive response to the American Silver Eagle and Australian Kookaburra programs. The Royal Canadian Mint had already established credibility with its .9999 fine Maple Leaf, but the Caribou issue and its companions targeted collectors who wanted recognizable Canadian wildlife imagery rather than a pure bullion vehicle.
The caribou design itself has roots in the 1937 circulation coinage, when Emanuel Hahn's original rendering was selected following a design competition organized under George VI's coronation year reissue program.
