2017 Kilo'In The Eyes of the Timber Wolf' $250 Silver Coin. 9999Fine(18007)(NT)

Equipped with superior peripheral and night vision, the timber wolf (Canis lupus occidentalis) surveys the wilds of western Canada with an unforgettable intensity in its gaze, which only adds to its mysterious allure. This elusive, powerful yet social species is the special focus of the fourth coin in an ongoing series, which features enamel-enhanced portraits of Canadas wildlife. The reverse design by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc features a detailed portrait of a timber wolf (Canis lupus occidentalis), also known as the Mackenzie Valley wolf. A close view of the wolfs facial features dominates the reverse, where the application of gold-toned enamel immediately pulls the focus towards its unforgettable stare. The colour effect adds a glowing intensity to each iris while darkening the pupils; breaking free from this locked gaze, a study of the wolfs other facial features shows an outstanding amount of detail. Advanced finishing and shading techniques enhance the intricate engraving and provide a breathtaking sense of depth, texture and contrast to the wolfs ears, nose, mouth and fur. Lock eyes with one of western Canadas iconic wolf species! Fourth in the annual series of 99.99% pure silver 1-kilogram coins featuring selective enamel-enhanced portraits of Canadas iconic wildlife. Gold-toned enamel adds a colourful intensity to the eyes as they seemingly stare directly at the viewer. The artistry and craftsmanship ensure a life-like feel to the image, as made evident by the remarkably textured appearance of the wolfs thick fur. The masterful combination of dynamic design, vibrant colour, multiple finishes and highly detailed engraving makes this a timeless addition to your wildlife-, nature- or Canadiana-themed collection. Composition: 99.99% pure silver. Weight (g): 1,000. Diameter (mm): 102.1. Packaging: Wood case with black beauty box. Finished size: 225mm x 225 mm. LAUNCH DATE: February 7, 2017.

This detailed 1 Kg coin celebrates the Cougar, a stealthy hunter that relies on its keen senses to survive in remote areas of western Canada. Its exceptional vision is uniquely adapted to allow the cougar to hunt its prey during any time of day. Crafted in 999 fine silver, this limited mintage coin series celebrate the striking eyes of Canadian wildlife. Mintage extremely low 500 pcs worldwide. The reverse image by Canadian artist Glen Loates offers a close-up portrait of the cougar (Felis concolor). Here, the shy predators piercing gaze is decidedly fixed upon the viewer as though each one is studying the other. But the selective use of coloured enamel ensures the female cougars eyes are the images focal point; the distinctive greenish hue recreates the light-reflective qualities of the animals eyes, which are protected from the bright light conditions by the contracted pupils. The large cats facial features are also rendered in fine detail, from its short fur to its visible whiskers and attentive ears. The coin’s obverse depicts the effigy of Her Majesty Quenn Elizabeth II, the face value and the issue date 2015. Canadian Cougar The cougar (Puma concolor), also commonly known as the mountain lion, puma, or catamount, is a large felid of the subfamily Felinae native to the Americas. Its range, from the Canadian Yukon to the southern Andes of South America, is the greatest of any large wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere. An adaptable, generalist species, the cougar is found in most American habitat types. It is the second heaviest cat in the New World, after the jaguar. Secretive and largely solitary by nature, the cougar is properly considered both nocturnal and crepuscular, although sightings during daylight hours do occur. The cougar is more closely related to smaller felines, including the domestic cat (subfamily Felinae), than to any subspecies of lion (subfamily Pantherinae).
