The timber wolf’s intelligence, speed and agility makes it a formidable hunter. Unlike the unjust “Big Bad Wolf” persona of fairy tales, the timber wolf (Canis lupus) prefers to play, hunt, and travel in a tight-knit group of up to 12 wolves. In fact, the adage “there is power in numbers” rings true when it comes to this hierarchal pack. Each member has an important role to play while working collectively to bring down their prey. Moving across the tundra or forest as though it knows every corner of its territory, the timber wolf uses its haunting howl to communicate with pack members or warn intruders encroaching on its domain. Its an unmistakable call of the wild that puts everyone on alert, and asserts the wolf’s reign as master of the land. Precision engraving captures the likeness of the timber wolves in extraordinary detail as part of an overall design that is brimming with depth, movement and energy!

Designed by Canadian artist Tony Bianco, the coin transports one into the midst of a pack of timber wolves out in the Canadian wilderness. This unique insider access allows for a rare close-up of three pack members, with two wolves facing right while the other in the foreground faces left. A side-profile view allows for a close examination of each wolf’s features. These are rendered in finely detailed engraving with advanced shading techniques that give the design a remarkably life-like appearance. Even the engraved texture of the fur conveys movement, as the wolves tilt their heads in unison towards the sky to release their howls into the night air. Each coin is beautifully presented in a Royal Canadian Mint branded wooden box, lined with black flocking and including a removable insert and special certificate compartment. Also included is a graphic beauty box. Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We place the coin at an angle, in some photos, to better depict the mirror bright finishes. However, angling the coin usually results in one side of the coin being slightly out of focus. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just artists conception drawings from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
