| 2012 Canada Special Edition Specimen Set of Coins |
In Canada, the wolf has made a comeback,
occupying about 90 percent of its historic range from the dense coastal
forests of British Columbia to the barren Arctic plains and the boreal
woodlands of Labrador. Though born tiny, deaf, and blind, this amazing
apex predator grows to become one of the most adaptable, socially
complex, and eminently fascinating residents of the Canadian wilderness.
The Royal Canadian Mint is proud to present the 2012 Special Edition $2
Specimen Set of Canadian coins. The finish on these superb coins
combines brilliant and frosted relief over a lined background. A finish
type that is unique to the Royal Canadian Mint.
The $2 coin,
only offered in this set, features two young wolf pups playing amid the
fresh grasses and first daffodils in a high springtime meadow. One pup
raises its tiny muzzle in a prototypical howl - practicing, no doubt,
for adulthood when this skill will have many uses. Its sibling gazes
playfully at the howling pup, ears forward, front legs slightly bent,
tail low, in a pre-pounce play stance. In the background, a winding
river twists through a broad forest valley that is flanked on all sides
by a vast coniferous forest.
