Product Overview
This limited-edition matched coin-and-stamp set features the white-tailed deer with both a one-ounce $5 fine-silver coin and a set of two Canada Post postage stamps. The set is presented in a high-quality wooden display case with an information booklet about the deer. The coin design features a doe and her fawn amongst birch trees.
When sensing danger, the deer raises its tail; this is called "flagging." Showing this large white patch on the underside of the tail signals an alarm to other deer and helps a fawn follow its mother to safety. The deer is a great jumper and runner, and it can reach speeds of up to 58 kilometres per hour.
The white-tailed deer can be found in any forested or bushy area on the continent as long as it has enough food. It can be found from Cape Breton Island to south-central British Columbia and well into the boreal forests of the north. In fact, some have been seen as far as Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories.
Spring is the season of fawns. While the majority are born in late May or early June, some fawns have been born as early as March or as late as August.
This set includes two mint-condition $1 stamps (one first-day cancelled) plus a booklet that is full of fascinating images and facts about the white-tailed deer.
