# 577 - The Mule Deer
In 2015 the Royal Canadian Mint issued a series called "Majestic Animals".
Each one was a 2015 $20 CAD, weighting 31.39g (1.01oz) with 99.99% silver purity and Colored Proof finish.
I have already shown the first one in this post: https://steemit.com/steemsilvergold/@ronaldoavelino/459-canadian-animals
The second one: https://steemit.com/steemsilvergold/@ronaldoavelino/574-the-bighorn-sheep
Now I will show you the third coin of the series: "The Mule Deer".
Its mintage was 6,499 units and the issue price was $99.95 CAD.
As the predominant deer species throughout western Canada and southern portions of the Yukon, the mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) roams the mountains, forests and grasslands in search of the grasses, foliage and lichen that sustain it.
The reverse image by Canadian artist Trevor Tennant recreates the breathtaking colours of an autumn morning in one of western Canada’s many forests.
Here, a male and female mule deer have made their way to lower elevations where they have entered a foothills meadow to forage.
In the foreground, the buck stands tall and attentive to any sound, turning its head to the left, while a doe follows behind in the background.
A beautiful overlay of colour to the engraved design allows the viewer to glimpse the mule deer’s distinctive characteristics, from the dark tan-coloured fur with white patches on its throat and face, to the long black-rimmed ears and the buck’s forked antlers.
The obverse shows the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, designed by Susanna Blunt.

@ronaldoavelino... given the same design coin, which do you prefer... the proof or the colorized?
I don't like Colored Brilliant Uncirculated coins, but RCM made a wonderful work on these Colored Proof coins.
I have never seen this one before, what a beauty!! I like all the fine details in the flowers.
It is good to see you here! This series is absolutely beautiful.
