Steve Album sale 55, lot 3271

This specimen was lot 3271 in Steve Album Auction 55 (Santa Rosa, CA, May 2026), where it sold for $240. The catalog description[1] noted, "CANADA: Queen Elizabeth II, 1952-2022, AR 30 dollars, 2021, Imposing Icons Series - White-Tailed Deer, contains 2.015 troy ounces of pure silver, with COA and original Royal Canadian Mint case of issue, Proof. Designed by artist Maurade Baynton, the reverse features a selectively colorized close-up view of the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). The finely engraved backdrop showcases the forest, one of the deer's many habitats in Canada. As per the Royal Canadian Mint, 'In Canada, the white-tailed deer is the most common and widely distributed large mammal. If you spot one, it is likely grazing in woodland edges and pastures. However, the deer startles easily; at the first sign of trouble, it raises the alarm by flagging its brown tail to reveal a white underside (hence its name) as it gallops out of sight. Coin Number 3 of our Imposing Icons series invites you to look deep into the eyes of the white-tailed deer. This close encounter with such a large prey species is made possible by the coin's large (50 mm) diameter, which provides ample room for both the engraved wilderness and colorful wildlife.'" In 2021, this denomination was used for KM 3136 (shown here), KM 3137 and KM 3738.

Recorded mintage: 2,500.
