Last coin features a contemplative portrait of the moose.

The Wildlife Reflections series of contemplative portraits concludes with the most serene scene yet. A proud symbol of the Canadian wilderness, the moose inhabits the boreal forest that stretches from Newfoundland in the east to British Columbia in the west, and north to the Arctic treeline. A male moose’s antlers and imposing size (up to two metres tall at the shoulders) make it a sight to behold as it nobly, and quietly, wades in water—as it does on Coin #3, where the tranquil fall scene taps into the Canadian spirit and captures the undeniable majesty of our wild spaces.

Did you know?

Moose tend to stick close to various water sources within forested areas. It will swim to cool off on a hot day or wade in water to find food, even diving to the bottom of a lake to feed on aquatic plants.

Behind closed doors

“I wanted the moose to exude serenity and grandeur, to let the raw power and strength of its massive antlers shine through. The artistic interpretation focuses on the moose’s calm nature and the blue sky and water, which bring softness and unity to the scene, highlighting this magnificent creature."

– Claude Thivierge, Artist

“Home to an incredible diversity of life, the Canadian wilderness is a place of perpetual beauty – a place where discoveries and unexpected encounters can provide soul-stirring moments of tranquility and reflection. With this series, I set out to celebrate Canada’s natural beauty through colourful yet contemplative portraits, and Claude brought this vision to life with his depictions of iconic wildlife in equally iconic settings.”

– Alicia Cook Sapene, Product Manager
