20 Dollars - Elizabeth II Arctic Wolf, Canada

Designed by Canadian artist Maurade Baynton, your coin artfully combines detailed engraving, selective colour and a diamond glitter element to capture a serene moment in Northern Canada. Lying on the frozenground, an arctic wolf takes a moment to rest its weary head next to its forepaws. This northern hunter is engraved in magnificent detail to capture the uniqueness of its featuresincluding the long fur that keeps it insulated against winters chill. Behind the wolf, engraving adds texture tothe trees that surround it, while the application of soft colours re-create the hues and shadows of fading daylight. While the landscape slumbers beneatha thick blanket of snow, a sealed layer of fine diamond particles re-creates the effect of snow sparkle on this enchanting winter day in the North.
