The reverse of this Silver coin presents a breathtaking portrait of the Canadian elk, depicted in extraordinary detail. The powerful animal dominates the foreground, while in the background, a tranquil forest landscape, evokes the vast wilderness of Canada. The realistic textures of the elk's fur and the trees create a vivid sense of depth and presence. On the reverse, also the inscriptions: "CANADA" – the issuing country, and "2025" – the year of issue. The obverse of this Silver coin depicts the effigy of King Charles III, along with the inscriptions: "CHARLES III" – the name of the King, "D·G·REX" – short for "Dei Gratia Rex" meaning "By the Grace of God, King", and "20 DOLLARS" – the face value.
