Continuing the Royal Canadian Mint's unique 1.5 oz wildlife bullion series, the 2014 Arctic Fox showcases the elegance and resilience of one of Canada's most elusive northern animals. Struck in .9999 fine silver, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin offers both impressive weight and intricate design, appealing to investors and collectors alike.
Design Insight:
The reverse portrays an arctic fox in its winter habitat, standing poised among the snowy terrain. The fine detail in the fox's fur and environment reflects the Royal Canadian Mint's renowned craftsmanship, while the larger surface area of the 1.5 oz format allows for enhanced design depth and texture.
