Design:
The first coin in the subscription features a three-quarter profile portrait of a male white-tailed deer, and is designed to showcase the singular beauty of a mature male white-tailed deer at the height of its strength. This image renders in fine detail the 10-point antler rack, large ears, distinctive eyesand muzzle, and strong neck and back of its subject. The antlers, which will be shed soon after they have reached their peak growth for the year, bear tines that point sharply upward and bend slightly forward. The lighter colouration of its inner ear, eyes, nose, and lower jaw, along with the rippling muscles of its powerful neck and back, are portrayed in dimensional detail by Royal Canadian Mint engravers.
During the late-November mating season, mature male deer are at their most majestic—their bodies rounded and muscular in anticipation of the coming cold season, their fur thickened against the cold, and their broad necks and heads crowned by a massive rack of antlers. These antlers are a biological wonder.Composed of velvet-covered cartilage that hardens into bone, the antlers of Canada's white-tailed deerare among the fastest-growing mammal bones on Earth. Following the annual mating season, these bone structures, which are dead by the time they are usedto assert dominance in the autumn, will fall off. The buck will grow a new set of antlers the followingspring.
• Antler growth is largely restricted to male deer (bucks). Antlers can grow more than a centimeter a day.
• In their earliest growth stage, antlers are formed of living cartilage covered in velvety skin that feeds bone growth through a complex vascular system.
• Antlers grow from the tips and growth is triggered by seasonal daylight cycles.
• Each year, for about the first seven years of the buck's life, the antlers will grow larger than the previous year.
• Antler size varies widely and is influenced by a broad range of factors from genetics to environment and food availability.
Packaging:
Your coins are encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a custom beauty box.
