In the caribou can be seen a vast migratory journey through space and time. People relate to its resilience, its ability - across the massive span of millennia and miles - to nourish itself and thrive in harsh, remote conditions. The Caribou teaches the lessons of survival in this land: the benefits of slow, steady progress borne of tireless effort; the safety of the herd against predators large and small; and an intrinsic interconnection with the world it inhabits. It is no surprise that this unique animal is a Canadian icon, celebrated since 1937 on Canada's 25-cent circulation coin, official animal of Newfoundland and Labrador, and shield-bearer of the Nunavut coat of arms. Special features · This coin is the eighth coin in the “O Canada” 1/2 oz. silver coin series. · The coin features a stylized caribou hoof print. · The coin includes detail engravings of the caribou set against the backdrop of the Canadian Arctic - one of the world's most remote landscapes. · This coin is a great gift and collectible that celebrates the natural wonders found in the Canadian North. · Each coin is struck in 99.99% pure fine silver! Design This coin was designed by Pierre Leduc. It presents a male caribou set against the rugged terrain of the Canadian North. The caribou faces the viewer, his large rack of antlers, stocky body, and long legs viewed from the front. The caribou peers at outward with his right eye, his powerful neck turned to his left. Below and behind him are the snow-covered rocky ground and characteristic pines of Canada's northern boreal forest. In the distance, mountains stretch out along the horizon. Packaging Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a maroon clam-shell case lined with flock, and protected by a customized full color ‘beauty box’. 34 mm Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace-Making Kit (coin sold separately) — Transform your favorite 34 mm diameter coin into a pendant necklace with this handy do-it-yourself kit!

Many coin dealers “search” all coins when they are received from the Mint. They "cherry-pick" the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. These graded and certified coins are then sold at higher, premium prices. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins. Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces. However, tilting the coin may resulting one side being slightly out of focus. Our goal is to provide clear, high definition photos that accurately represent the coin(s) offered in each of our eBay listings. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
