The third of four coins in the Royal Canadian Mint's Predator series, the wolf merits a substantial coin.
Guardian of its territory, the wolf (Canis lupus) is a fearless hunter that relies on its remarkable intelligence, its keen senses, and a pack mentality to maintain its reputation as an apex predator. It also plays an important role in the biodiversity of the remote areas it inhabits, from Newfoundland and Labrador to British Columbia and north.
In a nod to this remarkable animal, the Royal Canadian Mint presents this unique coin that features an engraved portrait of a wolf in pursuit of its prey. The finely engraved details of the wolf set on precisely cut radial lines makes this coin a stunning addition to the Predator Series collection.
The reverse design by Canadian artist Nathalie Lagace has created a powerful design of a wolf leaping toward its prey. This 1 oz Silver Wolf Coin is masterfully crafted by Royal Canadian Mint engravers using a variety of engraving techniques and finishes to bring depth and texture to this stunning image.
