Additional information

Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's "Challenges of Nature" wildlife bullion series, this issue depicts the moose — an animal whose sheer mass makes it one of the most genuinely dangerous encounters in the Canadian backcountry, a fact the series title acknowledges without irony. The .9999 fine gold standard adopted by the RCM in the 1980s set a benchmark that competitors including the U.S. Mint and South African Mint took years to match in their own bullion programs.
