2024 $30 Fine Silver Coin - The Howling Wolf

The Coin Company is proud to present the 2024 $30 Fine Silver Coin - The Howling Wolf by the Royal Canadian Mint.

The image of a howling wolf is a timeless one that evokes an array of feelings, from admiration of the untamed to fear of the unknown, as its mournful call carries through the moonlit night and pierces the very soul...

First unveiled on the 2020 From the R&D Lab: Flying Loon prototype, Lifted Engraving technology is a ground-breaking innovation from the Royal Canadian Mint that turns a 2D design into 3D art, by lifting (and holding) the focal point above the rest of the engraved coin surface. This 99.99% pure silver coin is the first to use the new technology to its full potential, its howling wolf made possible by a proprietary process that allows for the raised cutaway to form a foreground layer, while behind it, the full moon sets the tone for a spellbinding scene.

From preview (2020’s From the R&D Lab: Flying Loon) to official coin debut—this 99.99% pure silver coin is the first of its kind to make full use of the Royal Canadian Mint’s innovative Lifted Engraving technology.

KEY FEATURES:

• Each coin is the product of an intensive production process involving a specific sequence of steps.
• Crafted from a single 99.99% pure silver blank and featuring an antique finish.
• Using a new type of die and deliberately cutting into the coin, the key relief is separated from the rest of the design using proprietary methods that cut-out and bend the field—this is Lifted Engraving technology.
• The technology allows for a more dimensional rendering of the night scene— the wolf truly stands out against the full moon.

2024 $30 Fine Silver Coin - The Howling Wolf has a limited mintage of 2,500 coins.
