2018

This commemorative coin was issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2018 and features a striking yin and yang composition formed by two wolves rendered in contrasting finishes. One wolf is plated in gold, while the other appears in black ruthenium, symbolizing balance, duality, and harmony in nature. The intertwined design reflects opposing yet complementary forces, drawing inspiration from the ancient yin-yang philosophy. The coin is notable for its high-relief sculpting, selective plating, and modern artistic interpretation of wildlife symbolism.
