Gold Coin
The Red Deer

Guaranteed to excite all nature lovers, Wildlife in our Sights is a sumptuous six-coin series of gold coins celebrating the diversity of Europe's native wildlife and its natural habitats. One of the continent’s largest and most iconic land mammals, the red deer features in all its splendour on the handsome first coin in the series.

Known as the 'Monarch of the Glen' due to the majestic antlers of the stag, the Red deer (Cervus elaphus) passes the summer on high ground and the winter in lower-lying areas and floodplains where food is easier to find. A magnificent stag in its natural habitat calls out on the coin's obverse, while the proud male stands guard over his family amid dense woodland on its reverse. Each coin in the series features a masterful depiction of one of the continent's most recognisable wild animals and is exquisitely decorated with an ornate design that gives the series its distinctive rustic elegance. Exclusively minted in Proof quality.
