Wolves – gregarious family animals – do not often stare directly at man, or at each other for that matter. They are creatures of complex, almost chivalrous behavior, and perhaps they feel that eye-to-eye staring would be rude and confrontational. They do indeed make direct eye contact if they intend to confront. Perhaps this is why we find the gaze of a wolf so compelling. Perhaps the wolf includes us as a member of the pack… A feeling that is as exciting as it is unsettling. This drawing was executed on very rough paper because I wanted to give a feeling of the rough power of a wild wolf. I also enjoyed the sense of being able to share with others the feeling of the rough materials I used – coarsely textured paper and pencil. Robert Bateman is an advocate of wildlife education through learning initiatives, such as the Bateman Foundation’s Nature Sketch program. Based in Victoria, B. The Foundation oversees the Bateman Gallery of Nature, home to the largest permanent collection of Bateman’s original works. The artist has also donated millions of dollars’ worth of original art and limited-edition prints to help fund conservation efforts.

2022 Canada 1c Pure 5 oz. Silver Coin – Farewell to the Penny 10th Anniversary. A nostalgic look back! It was 10 years ago, in 2012, that the last Canadian penny was struck at our Winnipeg facility. Until that moment, the copper-plated cent was everywhere: it jingled in the pockets and purses of Canadians for generations filled countless coin jars and its maple leaf twig design was a part of our everyday lives. Now, a decade later, its iconic design has been given a new life and a modern twist on this 5 oz. Fine silver tribute, which has been enhanced with reverse gold plating to add a precious gleam. Gold plating fills the field, while the engraved relief consists of a multifaceted, geometric rendering of the iconic maple leaves and twig. The reverse also includes the face value “1 CENT”, the year “2022″ and the word “CANADA”. The obverse features a “P” composition mark indicating the gold plating, and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The last penny was struck in Winnipeg, Manitoba on May 4, 2012. Since the Mint opened its doors in 1908, we’ve minted around 35 billion of one-cent circulation coins, but we’ve also recycled over six billion of them since 2013. Unlike the other denominations of Canadian circulation coinage, the one-cent coin’s design remained largely unchanged after the maple leaf twig made its debut in 1937. The only exception was in 1967, when a rock dove design by Alex Colville appeared on the penny to mark the 100th anniversary of Confederation. Specifications: Composition: 99.99% pure silver with reverse gold plating Mintage: 1,500 Weight: 157.6 g Diameter: 65.25 mm Face Value: 1 cent Finish: Proof Edge: Serrated Artist: Matt Conacher (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse) Special Features. Remembering the penny, 10 years later! Enjoy this nostalgic look back at Canada’s one-cent circulation coin, as we mark the 10th anniversary of the last penny struck at our Winnipeg facility. A modern interpretation! The penny’s iconic maple leaf twig design is back, but there’s a twist! The twig and twin maple leaves have been given a more contemporary appearance, with geometric angles that add more depth than ever, and engraved facets that catch and reflect the light. Reverse gold plating! This coin is crafted from 5 oz. Of 99.99% pure silver, which is only visible on the effigy and select design elements on the reverse. The rest of the coin is plated with beautiful yellow gold that outshines even the brightest copper penny. With its 65.25 mm diameter, this spectacular showpiece is more than three times the size of the original penny (19.05 mm). It weighs considerably more, too: 157.6 grams compared to the penny’s 2.35 grams. Only 1,500 are available to collectors worldwide. Packaging: Coin comes encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
