Description
A low mintage of just 500 coins in a double concave piedfort format containing about ten ounces of pure silver makes this $100 Wolves coin an exceptional high quality collector piece. The coin is part of the first series ever of RCM double-concave piedfort coins: an impressive collectible that is twice the thickness of a typical fine silver coin and features both a concave-shaped reverse and obverse. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
The concave-shaped reverse provides a unique canvas for this wildlife portrait by Denis Mayer Jr. Two wolves can be seen standing on a rocky high spot, looking down and surveying their territory. They are framed by the trees and branches of the forest behind. Various finishes add depth to the inward-curving design, which also includes the word “CANADA”, the year “2019” and the face value of “100 DOLLARS”. The equally concave-shaped obverse features a concentric pattern of maple leaves and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
