# 1080 - Cristina's Coins - Part 27

in silvergoldstackers •  4 years ago 

The info below comes from the Royal Canadian Mint's COA (Certificate of Authenticity) of this coin or https://en.numista.com/ , or https://www.wikipedia.org/.

Due to the coronavirus I cannot travel to visit my daughters and bring back the coins I bought. I asked Cristina, my elder daughter, who lives in Canada, to take some photos and send them to me. These will be the coins that will comprise this series.

The twenty seventh is a 2004 CAD $5 "The Majestic Moose".

It weights 28g (0.9oz) with 99.99% silver purity and Proof finish. Its mintage was 12,822 units and its issue price was CAD $39.95.

This coin was a part of a coin and stamp set series which was issued jointly in 2004-2006 by the Royal Canadian Mint and Canada Post to pay homage to Canada's diverse wildlife. I don't have the stamps (one mint and one cancelled) that came with the set.

The reverse, designed by D. Preston-Smith and engraved by Stan Witten, showcases a moose in Canada's wilderness.
