The Royal Canadian Mint is proud to announce that investors world-wide can now buy the 2011 Silver Wolf Bullion Coin; the first in a new series of Canadian Wildlife silver 9999 fine one-ounce bullion coins.
The Mint’s Ottawa facility will produce one million coins showcasing this theme and will introduce a minimum of two annual issues over the next three years. These exciting new silver bullion coins will be priced on the same market rate as the Mint’s world-famous Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin.
"The Royal Canadian Mint is renowned world-wide for the quality, purity and design of its silver bullion coins and we are excited that that the 2011 "Wolf" coin enhances the profile of our silver bullion product family in a very competitive market," said Ian E. Bennett, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint.
"Distinctly Canadian themes such as nature and wildlife are popular among silver buyers, especially in Europe, and we are very pleased that the one million coin mintage has been fully allocated to our distributors."
The reverse "Wolf" silver bullion coin is struck from one ounce of 99.99% pure silver and bears a $5 face value. The wolf design is the work of Senior Mint Engraver William Woodruff. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, created in 2003 by Canadian portrait artist Susanna Blunt.
The 2011 "Wolf" silver bullion coin are available through the Mint’s extensive network of bullion dealers. The next issue in this six-coin series will be announced in early 2011.

would love to be able to get some coins with the wolf 2011
Nice coins can’t wait for the others
I just got a roll on Craigslist from a guy, should have bought 2, they are the best looking coins I have ever seen. They are very shiny and the detail of the wolf and background are unmatched by any other coin I have seen. If you are thinking of buying them don’t think just do it they are well worth every penny you spent, and probably will be worth much more in the future.
