Great Hunters: Grey Wolf – 1 oz. Pure Gold Ultra High Relief Coin
About
The grey wolf, one of the Great Hunters immortalized in gold and presented in Ultra High Relief.
Teamwork, persistence and adaptability—these are the traits that assure a wolf pack’s survival, and they have helped cement the grey wolf’s reputation as one of the Great Hunters. Unlike ambush predators such as the cougar (Coin #2 in this series), the grey wolf (Coin #3) is a pursuit predator, capable of chasing its prey over long distances and adjusting its tactics as circumstances change. The hunt itself is a coordinated group effort, as illustrated from the prey’s perspective on this 99.99% pure gold Ultra High Relief (UHR) coin, with each pack member contributing to a common goal—an inspiring example of the complexity and wonder of the Canadian wilderness.
Don’t turn your back on this master tactician.
