Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc, your coin features a superbly detailed portrait of a timber wolf (Canis lupus occidentalis), which is also known as the Mackenzie Valley wolf. A close view of the wolf's facial features dominates the reverse, where the selective application ofa chartreuse-like coloured enamel to each iris immediately pulls the focus towards the animal's unforgettable gaze. The colour effect adds a glowingintensity to the eyes, which appear to be fixed onthe viewer. Breaking free from this unrelenting stare, a careful study of the wolf's other features reveals an outstanding amount of detail throughout the design. Advanced finishing and shading techniques enhance the intricate engraving, and provide arealistic sense of depth, texture and contrast to the wolf's ears, nose, mouth and fur.
Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maple wooden case with a black beauty box.
