Coin # 5 people.  Info on the Mint's page (sometimes the page does not load, try again in a few seconds) http://www.mint.ca/store/news/royal...out+the+MintThe fifth release of the Mint's six-coin Canadian Wildlife silver bullion coin series features a beautiful image of the Pronghorn Antelope illustrated by Canadian artist and accomplished coin designer Emily S. Damstra. Ranging from southern Alberta and Saskatchewan to the central and western United States, as well as the Baja Peninsula and parts of Northern Mexico, the Pronghorn is a true North American symbol of the abundant native wildlife still found on our continent. The 99.99% pure silver, 2013-dated one-ounce silver bullion coin will be produced to a maximum mintage of one million coins and will soon be available through the Mint's extensive network of bullion distributors. The final issue in this six-coin series will be announced in early 2013. Edited by jpaiva83

Good choice and execution. Will definitely need some of these but wish the mint would offer them through direct channels. It's not really that hard to buy bullion but still more difficult than just ordering directly from the RCM. |

I like it. The design is great. I still need to get the cougar before this one comes out though....

i like the design, but the boarder seems out of place, seeing as the rest of the series doesn't have it.

The moose has a bit of a border (most visible on the lower right of the coin) though until the new coin is released, we won't know if the 3/4 border on the Antelope art work will actually be transferred to the coin.
I hope that it does since it sets off the image.

It is annoying that you can't purchase bullion from the Mint. Their excuses are weak and lazy.

Interesting how this Pronghorn is used in the Canadian Wildlife series. It's only found in extreme southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. I'm pretty sure the other 4 animals featured so far were much more widespread throughout the country. I'll still buy one of course!

@thehulk It seems to be an unusual choice but one that the mint hasn't used yet, that makes it a little more interesting. Add another one to the list...which just keeps getting longer. Now for the bighorn sheep...and not the ewe variety  |

Last year the release date was in September, it should be similar this year.
Would, should, could its all a crap shoot but its my best guess.
