The image of a howling wolf is a timeless one that evokes an array of feelings, from admiration of the untamed to fear of the unknown, as its mournful call carries through the moonlit night and pierces the very soul…

First unveiled on the 2020 From the R&D Lab: Flying Loon prototype, Lifted Engraving technology is a ground-breaking innovation that turns a 2D design into 3D art, by lifting (and holding) the focal point above the rest of the engraved coin surface.

This 99.99% pure silver coin is the first to use this new technology to its full potential, and its howling wolf was made possible by a proprietary process that allows for the crepuscular hunter to be lifted out of the coin to form a foreground layer, while behind it, the full moon sets the tone for a spellbinding scene.

The technology allows for a more dimensional rendering of an already captivating night scene—perched on a cliff’s edge, the elevated wolf truly stands out against the full moon.

Your coin is specially encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
