The Royal Canadian Mint has issued a new two-ounce silver coin, the third in the “Multifaceted Animal Family” series. This time, the protagonists are a family of grey wolves, and as in previous coins in the series, the animals are depicted with engravings called multifaceted.
Multifaceted engraving is an innovative approach to creating dimensional art. When applied to a species of wildlife whose shape is well-known, the highly reflective geometric facets enhance the wildlife design and transform it into something truly unique, something that can also be seen in this piece depicting a family of wolves.
Gray wolves (Canis lupus) live in packs, and all members work together to hunt and raise their young. Pups remain with their parents' pack until they reach reproductive age, around 2 or 3 years old, when they set out to find a mate and form a new pack.
Wolves have traditionally symbolized trust and courage in the wild, but they also exhibit traits such as dedication and loyalty, as demonstrated by their close family and social bonds. These same traits are displayed on the third coin in the Multifaceted Animal Family series, which features a mother grey wolf caring for her three curious pups in another tender moment set in the Canadian wilderness. This close-knit family has been depicted in a bold geometric art style within a classically engraved scene, to present a more multifaceted view of the species and the boreal forest ecosystem it inhabits.
The obverse features a polygonal pattern and the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, the work of Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
