Product Description

The howl of a wolf pack sends shivers down even the most stalwart spine. Yet, in the entire written history of Canada, there is not a single record of a wolf having killed a human being. Canada boasts the world’s second-largest wolf population, with estimates between 50,000 and 60,000. For eons, this powerful, mysterious, resilient creature has roamed free throughout northern and western Canada and in the region around the Great Lakes, singing its song to the coming and going of the moon.
Your coin is the third of the new O Canada 1 oz silver coin series featuring iconic Canadian animals. Previous coins have sold out quickly. With a limited mintage of only 8,500, ensure you order your coin today!

Design
Designed by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc, your coin presents a wolf mother with two tiny pups in a Canadian forest. The pups stand in front of their mother, one looking directly at the viewer while its sibling gazes up at its mother for comfort. The mother’s body is arched in a protective stance, gazing up toward the viewer through haunting eyes. The family stands atop a rocky outcropping in a forest, surrounded by dots of grassy moss, and in front of balsam fir. The reverse is framed with a border engraved with the word “CANADA,” the date “2013,” the face value of “25 DOLLARS” and a stylized wolf paw-print.
Packaging
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a maroon clamshell case lined with flock and protected by a customized beauty box.
This coin is an excellent addition to any premium collection focused around nature or Canadiana.
