The final piece in a series that has elevated art to new heights. With its intelligent eyes and sharp ears, the timber wolf’s profile is instantly recognizable-and when rendered in Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR), those imposing features will certainly evoke feelings of reverence and awe. The third (and final) 99.99% pure silver piece in our series of EHR coins presents another exquisitely sculpted, exceptionally realistic wildlife portrait. This time, it is the timber wolf that rises up from the coin’s mirror-like surface to reach an incredible height of over 6 mm. A stunning portrait of strength-the perfect way to cap off this series. Our final coin in our EHR portrait series. Like the 2020 Proud Bald Eagle and 2021 Bold Bison coins, this wildlife portrait has been brought to life by Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR) engraving, which elevates the art to breathtaking effect. It is the final piece in a limited series of wildlife-themed coins that feature EHR and a proof finish. Collectors and nature lovers will be captivated by this coin’s engraved reverse, where the relief soars to a height of over 6 mm-more than four times higher than an Ultra High Relief (UHR) coin of the same diameter.

Packaging Black clamshell with black beauty box. Artist Eric Boyer (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse). The timber wolf and grey wolf are the same species (Canis lupus). Timber wolf’ is a common name for a wolf residing in a forested area; in reality, wolves are one of the most wide-ranging land animals, and in Canada, they inhabit a variety of habitats, from forests to grasslands, and even tundra. On the coin’s reverse, RCM engraver Eric Boyer has created a powerful three-quarter portrait of the timber wolf, with strength emanating from its raised likeness. Gazing intently towards the right, the timber wolf’s features-its eyes, ears and snout-are prominently featured and artfully accentuated by Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR) engraving, while the field’s high-shine finish directs light back onto the wolf’s form. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. This item is in the category “Coins & Paper Money\Coins: Canada\Commemorative”.
