Designed by Canadian artist Michelle Grant, your coin features colour over the engraved portrait of a young woodchuck in its native environment. Barely two months old, the young is weaned from its mother'smilk and has ventured out of its underground burrowto sample nearby grasses and wildflowers. The application of selective colour over engraving capturesthe young woodchuck's likeness, particularly the texture and dark colour of its fur. Placing its weight on its hind feet, the pup sits upright and uses its clawed forepaws to bring a flower to its mouth for a tentative nibble! The use of colour also draws the eye to the surrounding vegetation, where alfalfa and yellow clover offer up a veritable feast for this youngster. To the left, detailed engravingdepicts a protective mother keeping a watchful eye on her young from the opening of the burrow, which is surrounded by grass and dirt at the foot of a large boulder.

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box.
