2025 Canada Animal Portraits Elk 1 oz Silver Gilded Proof Coin NGC PF 70 UCAM

A Close-Up of Canada’s Majestic Elk

The Animal Portraits series from the Royal Canadian Mint continues with its second release: the powerful elk (Cervus canadensis). Struck from 1 troy ounce of 99.99% pure silver and enhanced with selective gold plating, this proof coin delivers an extraordinary wildlife portrait in precious metal form. Certified by NGC as PF 70 Ultra Cameo, it represents the highest possible grade for quality and finish.

The Elk in Stunning Detail

Known as one of Canada’s largest land mammals, a mature bull elk can reach nearly five feet at the shoulder. Its branching antlers, which may add 110–160 centimeters in height, are a true symbol of strength and majesty. The reverse design highlights these massive antlers, placing the viewer eye-to-eye with the elk for an intimate and commanding perspective. The obverse carries the official effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, along with the $20 denomination and 2025 year-date.

Craftsmanship and Series Legacy

As coin #2 of 3 in the Animal Portraits collection, this release builds on the series’ legacy of showcasing Canadian wildlife in lifelike engraved style. Each coin captures its subject in a natural setting, blending realism with artistry. The selective gold gilding enhances key features, while the proof finish ensures sharp contrast and exceptional clarity.
