In a nod to this remarkable animal and this vast country’s biodiversity, the Royal Canadian Mint presents a unique fractional set that features an engraved portrait of a lone wolf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFace Value                                                  Composition                                                 Weight (g)*                                            Diameter (mm)                                 Edge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5 dollars                                            Fine Silver (99.99% pure)                                       31.39                                                            38                                          Serrated\u003cbr\u003e4 dollars                                            Fine Silver (99.99% pure)                                       15.87                                                            34                                          Serrated\u003cbr\u003e3 dollars                                            Fine Silver (99.99% pure)                                       7.96                                                              27                                          Serrated\u003cbr\u003e2 dollars                                            Fine Silver (99.99% pure)                                       3.23                                                              20                                          Serrated\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMintage: 7,500\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Proof\u003cbr\u003ePackaging: Presented in a maple wood case with a graphic beauty box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDESIGN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll four coins are 99.99% pure silver, with each one featuring the same remarkable reverse image by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc. Using different finishes to enhance the expert engraving, Royal Canadian Mint engravers have faithfully rendered a lone grey wolf in exceptionally fine detail. This right-side profile emphasizes the textures on the wolf’s furry neck, its pointed ears, and its facial features. Possessing keen senses, the intelligent animal has fixed its steely, determined gaze upon something in the distance just beyond the reverse image field; this allows the viewer to get a close view of the wolf’s expression as it stands with its tongue slightly protruding and its mouth open to reveal a row of teeth along its lower jaw. The overall design boasts a remarkable combination of artistry and craftsmanship as the wolf’s meticulously engraved fur lends the image a sense of dimension and depth, in a way that the viewer can easily imagine the softness of it to the touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis rare set features 4 coins in one-ounce and fractional denominations, with each one featuring the reverse image of an iconic grey wolf.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is only the second fractional set to ever feature a reverse image other than the maple leaf.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine engraving and a proof finish create a reverse design that is visually striking, offering a detailed rendering of the wolf’s features.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Royal Canadian Mint’s purity standard (99.99%) brings added prestige to this exclusive set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith a limited mintage and a history of selling quickly, this fractional set is sure to be sought-after by collectors eager to add this set to their growing collection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA valuable and prized addition to any wildlife-, Canada- or nature-themed collection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176336916612,"sku":"145296","price":381.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/4_coin_Fractional_Set_Packaging_open_silver_logo__66892.1503026190.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759536482","url":"https:\/\/www.westedmontoncoinandstamp.com\/products\/2016-fine-silver-fractional-set-wolf","provider":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
