Equipped with superior peripheral and night vision, the timber wolf (Canis lupus occidentalis) surveys the wilds of western Canada with an unforgettable intensity in its gaze, which only adds to its mysterious allure. This elusive, powerful yet social species is the special focus of the fourth coin in an ongoing series, which features enamel-enhanced portraits of Canadas wildlife. The reverse design by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc features a detailed portrait of a timber wolf (Canis lupus occidentalis), also known as the Mackenzie Valley wolf. A close view of the wolfs facial features dominates the reverse, where the application of gold-toned enamel immediately pulls the focus towards its unforgettable stare. The colour effect adds a glowing intensity to each iris while darkening the pupils; breaking free from this locked gaze, a study of the wolfs other facial features shows an outstanding amount of detail.

Advanced finishing and shading techniques enhance the intricate engraving and provide a breathtaking sense of depth, texture and contrast to the wolfs ears, nose, mouth and fur. Lock eyes with one of western Canadas iconic wolf species! Fourth in the annual series of 99.99% pure silver 1-kilogram coins featuring selective enamel-enhanced portraits of Canadas iconic wildlife. Gold-toned enamel adds a colourful intensity to the eyes as they seemingly stare directly at the viewer. The artistry and craftsmanship ensure a life-like feel to the image, as made evident by the remarkably textured appearance of the wolfs thick fur.

The masterful combination of dynamic design, vibrant colour, multiple finishes and highly detailed engraving makes this a timeless addition to your wildlife-, nature- or Canadiana-themed collection. Composition: 99.99% pure silver.
