Creatures of the North: Werewolf 2021, 2oz Silver Coin

Creatures of the North is a new coin collection depicting the legendary monsters of the north.

It was inspired by stories of fearsome creatures that inhabited our planet hundreds of years ago. One of them is precisely a werewolf - a creature that looked like a wolf or a cross between a wolf and a human. Humans were said to transform into werewolves at the full moon. Depending on the legend, the transformation was done by the will of a person with supernatural abilities or as a result of a curse.

2 oz silver coins with an image of a werewolf - a commemoration of Canadian folklore

Werewolves have been present in legends and folk parables since ancient times. They came to Canada with settlers from France, where they began to take on a new form. According to Quebec folklore, a werewolf is a sinner who has disobeyed Catholic rites and is forced to take the form of a wolf every day as a punishment. The cultural influence of these creatures is so great that his silhouette could not be missing on the 2 ounce silver coins in the Creatures of the North series as well.

The silver investment coin in the Creatures of the North series depicts one of the popular depictions of the werewolf. The monster is depicted as a humanoid resembling a giant wolf. In the background one can see dense forest thickets and a full moon towering over them. Two of them are wrapped around the torn hull of a ship. On the reverse side of the coin we can also find information about the weight of the coin and the sample of silver used for production. The obverse of the coin is decorated with the likeness of Queen Elizabeth II. The year of issue and the denomination - CAD 10 - are also included here.
