The reverse design by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc presents a profile portrait of a howling wolf backed by a coniferous forest. The central feature of the image is the highly detailed right-side profile of the head of a wolf, its muzzle turned skyward and its mouth open in the wolf’s familiar howling pose. Using up to four separate finishes to emphasize the texture of the wolf’s coat across its face, muzzle, ears, and neck, and to bring a lifelike gleam to its haunting eye, Royal Canadian Mint engravers have lent additional beauty to the artistry of the original design. These finishes also help to deepen the sense of high relief for the wolf, which seems ready to emerge from the background of coniferous trees against which it is set.
The Royal Canadian Mint proudly releases its first-ever half-kilogram coin! Over 17 oz of pure gold.
