The elk is the fourth release in the RCM's spectacular "Call of the Wild" series. This series features the mighty, boisterous species that make up the Canadian landscape.
Obverse: Susanna Blunt’s design of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, along with the $200 face value and the year 2017.
Reverse: Features a portrait of a elk; the lines in the background representing the sound waves and ferocity of this predator. The finishes applied by engravers emphasize the textured thick coat and formidable antlers that are prominently displayed as the mature bull lifts it's heavy head to release its high-pitched roar, represented by the sound waves that fill the background.
The elk, or wapiti, is one of the largest species within the deer family, in the world. The bugle of a male elk is an unforgettable call of the wild that, once heard, leaves little doubt of its strength and authority in the Canadian wilderness. This magnificent species is highly vocal at times, but more so during the fall rutting season, when the bull's loud cry reverberates across the landscape.
