In Canada, the white-tailed deer is the most common and widely distributed large mammal. If you spot one, it is likely grazing in woodland edges and pastures. However, the deer startles easily; at the firstsign of trouble, it raises the alarm by flagging its brown tail to reveal a white underside (hence itsname) as it gallops out of sight. Coin #3 of our Imposing Icons series invites youto look deep into the eyes of the white-tailed deer. This close encounter with such a large prey species is made possible by the coin's large (50 mm) diameter, which provides ample room for both the engraved wilderness and colourful wildlife.
A must-have addition for any nature or animal lover in your family! Order today!

Design:
Designed by artist Maurade Baynton, the reverse features a selectively coloured, close-up view of the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). The finely engraved backdrop showcases the forest, one of the deer's many habitats in Canada. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

"The white-tailed deer can be found in both prairie and mountainous regions. This animal is following the path of least resistance:the road. He has one ear turned slightly, always listening for dangerÉ" Maurade Baynton: Artist
