Canada 2015 Imposing Alpha Wolf $20 Pure 1 Oz Colored Silver Proof Coin Perfect

MAJESTIC ANIMALS: IMPOSING ALPHA WOLF. Thanks to its remarkable intelligence, keen senses, and pack mentality the.

Is a fearless hunter that plays an important role in the biodiversity of its habitat. Guardian of its territory in remote regions throughout Canada - from Labrador to British Columbia, and north - the wolf's weariness of human contact and its general elusiveness give it an air of mystery that only adds to the reverence and fear many feel towards this apex predator. As a symbol of Canada's untamed wilderness, the Royal Canadian Mint pays tribute to the mighty wolf with this stunning coin. Designed by Canadian artist Maurade Baynton, this coin features a lone wolf rendered in striking detail through expert engraving, which affords us a unique close-up view of the wolf's characteristics. Here, the fearless hunter is perched on a rocky slope and holds its steely gaze as it surveys its remote territory and the horizon beyond the image field.

The rich selective color application over the struck components of the design recreates wolf's fine features and its handsomely colored fur that allows this fearless carnivore to blend in with its surroundings, bringing added depth to the coin. Behind the wolf, a mountain range looms over the river that winds through the forest valley below, with tall timbers that only add to the majesty of this natural setting. Obverse features the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England by Susanna Blunt. The coins comes in typical for RCM maroon clamshell presentation case and in illustrated shipper, as pictured. THE COIN IS IN PERFECT MINT CONDITION AND COMES WITH.

ALL ORIGINAL MINT PACKAGING WITH COA #4659. The wolf is the largest wild dog species; based on genetics, many scientists believe the domestic dog descended from the wolf. Measuring up to 90 centimeters in height at the shoulders and 2 meters from snout to bushy tail, the wolf's appearance is comparable to that of a large German shepherd, but with a broader skull.

And its strong jaw to waste very little of its hard-earned meal. Hunting in packs of up to 12 individuals allows the wolves to chase large prey: deer, mountain goats, elk, moose, caribou, bison, etc. Taking cues from the pack's leader (or alpha male), the wolves will either take turns chasing their prey to the point of its exhaustion or will lead it into a planned ambush. The wolf typically trots at speeds of up to 16 kilometers per hour; it reserves its top speeds of up to 70 kilometers per hour when closing in on its prey.
