Unfairly maligned in folklore and fairy tales, the wolf (Canis lupus) is a keystone species whose legendary hunting skills combine cunning, speed, agility and teamwork. It easily commands attention with its unyielding gaze and territorial behaviour; but the wolf is above all a social creature, moving in a tight-knit pack of up to 12 members of the same extended family group that cleverly collaborate to defend their territory, care for the pups and keep prey populations in check. The varying colour of the wolf's fur is one of many adaptations that allow it to survive in different ecosystems, including Canada's boreal forest, where its plaintive howl is the definitive call of the wild.

Design:
The concave-shaped reverse provides a uniquely shaped canvas for this wildlife portrait by artistDenis Mayer Jr. In a Canadian forest, two wolves (Canis lupus) pause at the edge of a cliff that gives them a commanding view of theirterritory. One wolf keeps a watchful eye on what lies below while the other has turned its head to facethe viewer, bringing its facial features into full view. The finely engraved forest setting is enhancedwith various finishes that add a sense of depth to the inward-curving design, which also includes the word "CANADA", the year "2019". The equally concave-shaped obverse features a concentric pattern of maple leaves and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
