A lone wolf emerges from the trees on this 2013 $10 fine silver coin. Artist Pierre Leduc's reverse captures a full-body portrait of a wolf in a Canadian forest, rendered with striking detail and presence — a predator alert and watchful.
Struck in 99.99% pure silver with a proof finish, this coin celebrates the wolf's place in Canada's wilderness and cultural mythology. It arrives complete in its original Royal Canadian Mint maroon clamshell case with certificate of authenticity.
