The wolverine is the largest member of the Mustelidae (weasel) family. This stout animal enjoys a fearsome "tough guy" reputation.
Much of the wolverine's notoriety can be attributed to its secretive ways, low population density and remote northerly range in central and western Canada. It's one of the nation's least understood animals, but as researchers continue to study the wolverine, they are discovering it is one of nature's great powerhouses.
The wolverine's strength is far beyond its stature. Its powerful jaws can bite through moose tibia, and its teeth have evolved to eat frozen meat and bones. It has long, semi-retractable claws that it uses primarily for digging and climbing. And while the wolverine is known to ferociously defend its food from larger predators, it is primarily a scavenger rather than a hunter of live prey.
A variety of finishes creates this distinctive wood block portrait of the wolverine in its habitat. Order yours today!
Special features:
• Third and last issue in the Royal Canadian Mint's exciting Untamed Canada series, your coin showcases five different coin finishes, each with a separate degree of luster, exceptional engraving techniques and woodblock-inspired art.

Comments about 1 oz. Fine Silver Coin - Wolverine - Mintage: 8500 (2014):
I am delighted with the new coin that I purchased
For me these rugged little creatures epitomize the remote Canadian North.
They are resourceful scavenger animals that thrive in the most frigid and harsh environments.
They "wrote the book" on wilderness survival, mountain climbing and stamina
Thanks for recognising their role in Canadian wildlife folklore

****I was sent an email asking for a review of the arctic fox, but when I posted it, the website said it was for the wolverine - very frustrating*** The wolverine coin is also beautiful.

Comments about 1 oz. Fine Silver Coin - Wolverine - Mintage: 8500 (2014):
I love the woodblock design of this coin, there is so much detail in the fox and the silver finish on parts of the fox looks almost white, which is perfect for the fur of an arctic fox. The font of the lettering on the fox side of the coin is also very different from their other coins.

Comments about 1 oz. Fine Silver Coin - Wolverine - Mintage: 8500 (2014):
Although the mint only made three coins for this series, it is now complete. I don't like to start something without completing it. This set now is completed. I like the animal themed coins and now this set just goes into my ever growing collection. I can't wait to see what's next.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
