Canada 1967 Howling Wolf Proof-Like Silver Half Dollar

Product Description

To celebrate the country's 100th anniversary in 1967, Canada issued all coinage with images of animals common to the nation. These proof-like Howling Wolf half dollar specimens contain 80% silver and feature 1867-1967 dual dates. Once on the brink of extinction due to hunting and destruction of habitat, wolf populations are slowly increasing. More than 50,000 wolves now roam the vast landscapes of Canada. Queen Elizabeth II graces the obverse of the coin.
