Every organism plays a part in the web of life, and that concept is beautifully illustrated on this fine silver collectible featuring a spellbinding shadow box composition on its reverse. Filled with lush flora and hidden fauna, the shadow box design is composed of superimposed layers of engraving that gently overlap, each casting shadows on the next and obscuring important story details that are only visible when viewed from a certain angle, ultimately revealing that the hunter may actually be the hunted!
Coin Highlights:
- Contains 23.75 grams of .9999 fine Silver.
- Limited mintage of only 750 coins.
- Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded wood case that makes for an elegant display.
- Obverse: The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
- Reverse: The reverse design by Canadian artist Julius Csotonyi is set in a boreal forest environment, where the nocturnal summer scene is divided into four separate layers of engraving that partially overlap to create a shadow box effect. With its antique finish, the bottom layer sets the mood by showing a full moon shining in the sky above the mountains and spruce- (g. Picea) covered foothills. Engraved on the uppermost layer (also featuring an antique finish), the woodland foreground is teeming with flora that have attracted a semirelict underwing (Catocala semirelicta) on the upper right, and a hungry snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) at ground level. The two middle painted layers add more complexity and tension to this story: on the second layer, a lynx (Lynx canadensis) can be seen stalking the hare, while a pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus)—an insectivore—is resting not far from the moth; and the third layer shows a wolf (Canis lupus) pack tracking the lynx from the edge of a stream.

I think besides this one, there is only one more type of coin like this with R&D so highly sought. Get it while you can - I love the landscape blends seemlessly with background. Only blemish is the waterfall - it just doesn't align but other than that it's exactly what I'd imagine it would be
