Special features:
- ORDER THE 3-COIN SUBSCRIPTION TO GET $40 IN VALUE!* When you subscribe to the Multifaceted Animal Head series, you'll receive a free collector case with your first coin ($40 value). The three coins in the series are:
- EHR Wolf (priced at $139.95)
- EHR Grizzly Bear (priced at $139.95)
- EHR Lynx (priced at $139.95)
- INNOVATIVE WORLD FIRST COINING TECHNOLOGY! Each coin features an ingenious approach to coin design. These are the first proof-quality coin struck with EHR ̶ a new term in the world of minting. EHR is defined by an impressive relief that reaches to around 6 millimeters on a coin of only 36 millimeters in diameter and 1 oz. in weight.Ultra-High Relief coins barely reach 2 mm of heightand standard relief coins remain almost flat in comparison.
- EXCEPTIONAL FROSTING! Each coin's multiple facets, composed of 435 polygons (on the first coin) to be exact, are crafted in proof finish to reflect light from various angles. The result is that each coin sparkles like a diamond. The highest quality proof finish combined with the EHR technique gives it an unequaled brilliance and sharpness, making it a world first coin of its kind. A lightly frosted background accentuates thesparkle of the central main design, giving its already dazzling subject even more emphasis. On the obverse, multiple light-relief facets provide similar luminous, reflective effect.
- UNIQUE SCULPTING! The exceptional three-dimensionality of EHR allows each animal head to elevate mere embossing to a sculpture of each animal head. The relief is so extreme and pronounced that the modeling and tooling work had to be approached in an unorthodox manner. The engravers hadto adapt their normal coin modeling procedures, CNCmachining strategies and tool polishing methods to accommodate such an extreme relief.
- UNIQUE COINS! Unlike any other, each multifaceted animal head feels alive. The innovative EHR technology transforms the imprint into an actual model.
- AN ODE TO NATURE! Canadais known for its vast and abundant nature, often protected and well preserved. The wilderness enveloping most of our land has continuously shaped our country, our history, and our culture. The multifaceted Wolf Head highlights the connection between civilization and nature.
- INCLUDES SERIALIZED CERTIFICATES! The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
- LOW MINTAGE! Each coin limited to 2,500 coins worldwide.
- ONE OZ. PURE SILVER! Each coin is crafted from one ounce of 99.99% pure silver.
