2014 Canada $200 Howling Wolf Pure Gold Coin (TAX Exempt) - 129232
The howl of a wolf pack sends shivers down even the most stalwart spine. Wolves traverse vast distances in their territory each day, seeking prey. Some experts believe that howling-that eerie hallmark of this unique species-is a key element of territory establishment, acting both as a warning to other packs and a call to gather amongst pack members.
The reverse design by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc presents a profile portrait of a howling wolf backed by lines representing the wolf's howl. The central feature of the image is the highly detailed right-side profile of the head of a wolf, its muzzle turned skyward and its mouth open in the wolf's familiar howling pose. Royal Canadian Mint engravers have lent additional beauty to the artistry of the original design; the finishes on this coin really emphasize the texture of the wolf's coat across its face, muzzle, ears, and neck, and bring a lifelike gleam to its haunting eye.
