About
Second coin in the Untamed Canada pure gold coin series! Order today!
Although reminiscent of the antelope of the African continent,Antilocapra Americana is the only member of its globally unique Antilocapridae family, which is native to North America. It is distinguished from other large, hoofed game animals by its unique keratinous, curving horns with their distinctforward-facing prongs. These are shed annually in late fall and begin growing in spring, returning to their full length by mid-summer. Although the Pronghorn does not jump higher than about 90 centimetres, this metre-high, reddish-brown ruminant can sprint atspeeds of about 85 kilometres an hour and run greatdistances at about 40 kilometres an hour.
Every day, the dramatic tales of the untamed wilderness are played out across Canada’s vast landscape—as they have been for untold millennia. Order your coin today!

Design
Designed by Canadian artist Tivadar Bote, your coin features a unique stylized image, inspired by woodblock design, of a Pronghorn set against symbolic elementsof its Canadian habitat. The Pronghorn, viewed in three-quarter profile, is presented in the foregroundof the image, its namesake horns reaching majestically toward the top of the image, with its serene face and head set upon a muscular neck. In the background, the image of a circular sunburst replete with rays recalls the vast open skies of the Pronghorn’s preferred habitat. From the sunburst rise wheat motifs and rays of light. The circularity of this element echoes the circular field of the coin and hints at the cyclical nature of the Pronghorn’s lifecycle.
