Detailed description
Howling Wolf - The first half-pound silver coin!
The first ever 500g silver coin, issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2014 in Proof quality and absolute purity of the purest 99.99% silver, is dedicated to Canada's wildlife beast, the Howling Wolf.
The coin features a detailed profile of the wolf's head on its reverse, howling at the moon, set against a coniferous forest backdrop. The circumference of the coin is surrounded by the inscription ''CANADA'' and the year of mintage ''2014''.
Wolves primarily inhabit forested areas in the northern regions of the Americas, Europe and Asia. These carnivores live in packs, led by an alpha pair and their offspring. These largest canids can weigh up to 40 kg and reach body lengths of up to 150 cm. Their fur, composed of two layers, serves as thermal insulation, so good that snow that sticks to the fur does not melt. Wolf communication is by howling, which can include up to 12 different tones and can be heard up to 16 km away. The most common reason for howling is to gather the pack before and after a hunt, for enemies and to determine each other's location. Communication between individual members is most often either early in the morning or at night when the beasts are on the hunt. Hence the superstition that wolves howl at the moon.
The obverse of the coin bears the traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt with the inscriptions ''ELIZABETH II'' and the face value ''125 DOLLARS''.
The coin comes in a lacquered mahogany box along with a numbered certificate of authenticity, limited to only 1,000 pieces for the entire world!
