Pure Silver Double-Concave Coin – Wolves: Nature’s Grandeur Series Unfairly maligned in folklore and fairy tales, the wolf (Canis lupus) is a keystone species whose legendary hunting skills combine cunning, speed, agility and teamwork. It easily commands attention with its unyielding gaze and territorial behaviour; but the wolf is above all a social creature, moving in a tight-knit pack of up to 12 members of the same extended family group that cleverly collaborate to defend their territory, care for the pups and keep prey populations in check. The varying colour of the wolfs fur is one of many adaptations that allow it to survive in different ecosystems, including Canadas boreal forest, where its plaintive howl is the definitive call of the wild. A DOUBLE-CONCAVED PIEDFORT COIN! Struck on a specially designed blank, your coin features a curved-shaped reverse and obverse. SECOND COIN IN A TWO-COIN SERIES! Your coin is the second in a two-coin double-concave series: Natures Grandeur! ALSO AVAILABLE IN A TWO-COIN SUBSCRIPTION!

Design: The concave-shaped reverse provides a uniquely shaped canvas for this wildlife portrait by artist Denis Mayer Jr. In a Canadian forest, two wolves (Canis lupus) pause at the edge of a cliff that gives them a commanding view of their territory. One wolf keeps a watchful eye on what lies below while the other has turned its head to face the viewer, bringing its facial features into full view. The finely engraved forest setting is enhanced with various finishes that add a sense of depth to the inward-curving design, which also includes the word’CANADA’, the year’2019′. The equally concave-shaped obverse features a concentric pattern of maple leaves and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
