Your coin's design re-creates the 50-cent circulation coin designed by Canadian artist Alex Colville, and features the side profile of a howling wolf. Detailed engraving re-creates the animal's outline and conveys the texture of its fur as it sitson its hind legs, its head tilted up to the sky torelease its cry into the air. The image is enhanced by the application of selective gold plating over the wolf and all along the coin's rim. The reverse also features the engraved face value "50CENTS", the word "CANADA" and the commemorative dates "1967-2017".
