Claudio D'Angelo's reverse design captures three bison mid-stride, rendered with striking depth and texture entirely through engraving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStruck in 99.99% pure silver, this coin made headlines at release: the Mint sold it directly at face value ($100 CAD), and demand ran so high that orders were capped to one coin per household shortly after launch. With a mintage of 50,000, it's not ultra-rare, but that release story gives it a collector narrative most bullion pieces don't have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCollector Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry: Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear: 2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDenomination: $100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposition: 99.99% Pure Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 31.6 g (1.02 troy oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 40 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Proof (some references list this as reverse\/matte proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge: Serrated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate: Not serialized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Excellent — pristine proof surfaces with no visible wear or toning, sealed in original mint capsule and packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMintage: 50,000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigner: Claudio D'Angelo (reverse); Susanna Blunt (obverse)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Significance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIssued in 2013 as the first coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's \"Wildlife in Motion\" series and the Mint's first-ever $100 face-value silver coin, this piece broke from convention by selling at face value rather than a proof premium — a move that drove immediate demand and household purchase limits.
