Comment

The wolf's unusual howls split the air and can be heard for miles around. It may be a solitary voice rising in the darkness, or sounds echoing in the distance. It's a cry that would make even the quietest of us shudder, yet it's harmless.

In all of Canada's written history, there is not a single incident of death caused by a wolf. However, this wild call, emitted by a beast made invisible by the darkness, has inspired disturbing stories that continue, even today, to influence people's beliefs and perceptions.

In fact, the wolf's howl is a testament to its intelligence and the complex social structure in which it evolves. Wolves live in packs of four to twelve individuals. They are highly territorial, controlling hundreds of square kilometers. When a wolf howls, it is communicating with its pack, whether it's to call off other wolves, to warn off unwelcome packs or to call its pups.

Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a burgundy double-shell case featuring the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case comes with a black protective box.Automatically translated

Interesting fact

The Howling Wolf coin is a unique and interesting piece because it features a hologram of a howling wolf that appears to move as the coin is tilted. This holographic technology was a first for the Royal Canadian Mint and adds an extra layer of depth and realism to the coin's design.
