2017 Canadian $125 Call of the Wild: Elk - 1/2 Kilogram Fine Silver Coin

2017 Canadian $125 Call of the Wild: Elk - 1/2 Kilogram Fine Silver Coin

The bugling call of the elk (or wapiti) is a telltale sign of fall in the western Canadian wilderness. During the rut, the male's high-pitched bellows seem to resonate across the landscape, filling the crisp autumn air. The bull's loudest vocalizations make his presence known—a distinctive call of the wild that serves as a show of strength and vitality among this species, beautifully captured on this stunning fine silver coin.

A gorgeous coin to add to your already stunning silver collection.
