Royal Canadian Mint has just released a Full Buck Moon Niobium Coin in June 2011 but all the single individual coins has been sold out. You can only bought it in a complete Full Moon $5 Sterling Silver and Niobium Coin Series of 4 coins. Most of the The 2011 Canada $5 Niobium Coin "Full Buck Moon" are already bought by reseller or dealers all over the world. This coin features a niobium metal inset with unique coloring that reflects the theme of the coin – Full Buck Moon. Each niobium core was selectively oxidized to create a unique finish—no two coins are exactly alike!
On the reverse show a young buck stands poised before a full Summer moon. The obverse of this coin also features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Canadian portrait artist Susanna Blunt in 2003. Each colouring selectively applied to the niobium insert enhances the season’s theme.
Coin is encapsulated and presented in a wooden flip case, lined with flock and protected by a black sleeve.
July is the quintessential month of summer. Its full moon is known as Thunder Moon or Summer Moon, but its most common name is Buck Moon to reflect the fact that bucks in the North American wilderness are beginning to grow new antlers—a vision of elegance and strength inspired by the ever-changing cycle of life.
