2018 Canada 1 oz Silver $20 Nocturnal By Nature: The Howling Wolf
Close to sell-out at the mint! This fine Silver coin is third in the series capturing all of the majesty and beauty of this species in the night sky, as re-created through the brilliant use of black rhodium plating. Swiftly traveling across Canada’s wild landscapes, the wolf (Canis lupus) makes its presence known when it releases its unmistakable howl into the night. Our exploration of Canada at night continues with this third coin in the Nocturnal by Nature series, using selective black rhodium plating to set the mood for a moonlit serenade.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Claude Thivierge travels deep into one of Canada’s forests, to catch a glimpse of a species whose haunting cry defines the call of the wild. Black rhodium plating sets the tone for a nighttime encounter in a clearing, where, viewed in three-quarter profile, Canis lupus raises its head to the sky and releases its howl into the winter night. Behind the wolf, the coin’s polished Silver surface is left unplated to mimic the light of the engraved full moon, which faintly illuminates the landscape below, and the wolf from behind.
