DESCRIPTION
Wolves have traditionally symbolized confidence and courage in the wild, but UPC: 6-23932-11638-2 they also exhibit such traits as dedication and loyalty, as evidenced by their close family and social bonds. These very traits are on display on the Royal Canadian Mint’s third Multifaceted Animal Family coin, where a mother timber wolf watches over her three playful pups, in another tender moment that unfolds in the Canadian wilderness. This close-knit family has been rendered in a bold geometric art style within a classically engraved scene in order to present a more multifaceted view of the species and the boreal forest ecosystem it inhabits.
➢ The third Multifaceted Animal Family coin reveals the more tender side of the timber wolf, a resident of Canada’s boreal forest.
➢ Multifaceted engraving brings the timber wolves to life, while their forest habitat is renderedin a more traditional style.
➢ The 50 mm diameter is an uncommon size that provides plenty of space for all the engraved details.
➢ The obverse features a pattern of laser-engraved polygon shapes—a nod to the multifaceted engraving on the reverse
