| Obverse description | The obverse bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting the monarch in right-facing profile as a mature portrait, uncrowned, wearing a necklace and drop earrings. The legend 'ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA' arcs along the upper periphery in Latin script. The portrait reflects the official Canadian effigy introduced in 2003, rendered with fine detail in the proof field. |

| Additional information |
Part of the RCM's broader "Animal Architects" series, this issue reflects Canada's sustained push into the ultra-high-fineness collector market after the Mint standardized its premium bullion and numismatic silver at .9999 fine — a purity step above the .999 that most mints consider sufficient. The wolf was selected as the series entry focused on den construction, a behavioral angle that distinguished the program from straightforward wildlife portraiture.
