Despite the species' extinction 10,000 years ago, the woolly mammoth continues to inspire and intrigue many who identify it with the last glacial period. With these finely detailed coins, the Royal Canadian Mint celebrates this impressive mammal that once roamed parts of present-day Canada. The mammoth fills nearly the entire face of each coin, shown in a striking side profile, sculpted in exceptional detail.
