With a face value of $200 (CAD), these coins have the highest face value of any legal tender gold bullion coin currently available in the market.
Elk on both the North American and Asian continent are known to range from forests to the edge of forest habitats, largely feeding on grasses, plants, leaves, and bark. A prized source of food for First Nation tribes throughout Canadas history, the male elk have large antlers that are shed each year and often collected by those looking to turn the valuable antlers in for cash.
Founded in 1908, the Royal Canadian Mint has quickly become one of the worlds greatest minting facilities. It operates its original location in Ottawa, the federal capital, as well as an additional modern facility in Winnipeg.
