10 oz. Pure Silver Gold-Plated Coin
Canadian Animals: Grizzly Bear
Mintage: 1,200 (2017)

Rising up from the coin like the terrain it inhabits, the bighorn-shaped statuette captures the beauty and dauntless spirit of this iconic Canadian species.

CANADIAN $100 (Wolf)
10 oz. Pure Silver Gold-Plated Coin
Canadian Animals: Wolf
Mintage: 1,200 (2017)
A wolf’s howl is an intrinsic part of nature’s soundtrack in Canada’s forest and tundra landscapes. This distinctive call can be a rallying cry to pack members, just as it can deliver a warning to rivals who dare enter its territory; but to human ears, the haunting chorus only adds to the lonesome mystique of the wild canine, which is featured on the sculpted reverse of this fine silver coin.

Canadian Animals: Elk
Mintage: 1,200 (2017)
The elk (or wapiti) cuts a distinctive figure in the grasslands and forests of western Canada and Ontario—and on this pure silver coin. The stately beauty of this iconic species shines bright in the form of a gold-plated, silver-cast statuette that rises up from the coin’s surface. The male elk’s towering rack of antlers is particularly imposing as the animal lifts its head towards the sky to release its bugling cry, which can easily shatter the early morning silence of an autumn day.

Mintage: 1,200 (2017)
The largest and most powerful of Canada’s big cats, the cougar (Puma concolor) is a master of camouflage in the Canadian wilderness. Its remarkably long tail helps it maintain a graceful balance as it steps sure-footed over the terrain, while its vision and hearing are perfectly adapted to the nocturnal hunt.

Tulip with Ladybug
1 oz Fine Silver Coin
In 1940, Queen Wilhelmina sent Crown Princess Juliana out of harm’s way to Canada. On 19 January 1943, the only royal baby ever born in North America was born in a room at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. The birth was greeted with hope and strengthened the ties of friendship between Canadians and the Dutch.
If you’re lucky, you may spot a pretty, brightly-coloured ladybug inhabiting a vibrant tulip in the spring. Both are warmly welcomed by gardeners as harbingers of spring. The two also share a unique relationship. The ladybug uses the tulip as shelter from predators and as a source of sustenance; much like how Canada was to the Dutch Princesses. In return, the ladybug-one of nature’s most effective pesticides-keeps garden plants and flowers healthy throughout the growing season.

Bumble bees in particular engage in a practice known as ‘buzz pollination,’ where, clutching a flower’s stamen with their jaws, they rapidly vibrate their wing muscles, loosening and scattering pollen.
Bumble bees are among the most resilient types of bees and prefer temperate climates. Because they are generalists, gathering nectar and pollen from a wide variety of flowers (up to 20 flowers per minute), it is somewhat easier for them to survive environmental changes. Nevertheless, like many bees, they are threatened by factors such as habitat loss, parasites, and pathogens. Luckily, anyone can help to support and attract bumble and other bee populations by planting a variety of native flowering plants.
