Reverse descriptionThe circular reverse design by Claude Thivierge features a contrasting “yin and yang”-like representation of the grey wolf (Canis lupus). Two wolves are positioned chin-to-chin to illustrate the tight social bonds that exist between pack members and each wolf has fixedits gaze on the viewer. Gold and black rhodium plating perfectly splits this engraved image into two opposite but complementary halves.
