The coin is a unique proposition for collectors, investors, and enthusiasts of paleontology and natural history. The coin was designed for people looking for investment value combined with artistic and educational value. Thanks to its careful craftsmanship and symbolism related to the Ice Age, it is an interesting addition to any collection and a perfect gift for lovers of prehistory. The coin combines the value of precious metal with a unique historical narrative, making it not only a means of capital investment, but also a vehicle for knowledge and inspiration. References to past eras remind us of the rich history of our planet and encourage reflection on the processes that have shaped life on Earth.
The two-ounce silver coin is a unique example of minting craftsmanship, harmoniously combining elegance with expressive symbolism. The reverse features an impressive image of a woolly mammoth – a prehistoric giant whose long, curved tusks dominate the composition, emphasizing its strength, majesty, and significance in the history of the northern lands. The animal is depicted in a dynamic manner, with clearly marked movement, which makes the scene almost come to life against the backdrop of a subtle landscape. The obverse of the coin features the official portrait of King Charles III by Steven Rosati. Its presence balances the drama of the reverse, lending the coin the elegance and prestige befitting Canadian issues. The Brilliant Uncirculated finish brings out the sharpness of the details, making every element of the design – from the texture of the mammoth's fur to the subtle lines of the monarch's portrait – look extremely vivid.
The coin was issued as a tribute to the Ice Age and the prehistoric animals that inhabited the Earth thousands of years ago. Its release was intended to commemorate the woolly mammoth as an icon of ancient times and fascinating natural heritage.
The woolly mammoth, one of the most recognizable representatives of Pleistocene megafauna, has stimulated the human imagination for centuries and has become a symbol of the power, but also the fragility, of life in the face of climate change. The choice of this animal as the theme of the issue is in line with the tradition of commemorating creatures that have played an important role in the natural history of the Earth. The coin reminds us of the role of glaciers in shaping the landscape, the difficult conditions in which the first human communities developed, and the close relationship between humans and the natural world around them.
This makes the coin not only a valuable collector's item, but also a source of knowledge and inspiration—a testament to the past eras that shaped the world as we know it today.
As Canada's independence from Great Britain grew, so did the need to mint its own coins. Therefore, in 1908, the Royal Canadian Mint was established and has since become one of the most important mints in the world. To date, all coins from the Royal Canadian Mint bear the portrait of the reigning British monarch.
The shares of the Mint are held in trust for the Crown of Canada.
The Mint produces all Canadian circulation coins and designs and manufactures collector coins made of precious metals—gold, silver, palladium, and platinum bullion coins, medals, medallions, and tokens. It also offers gold and silver refining services.
Today, the Royal Canadian Mint sets the standard in minting technology and numismatic design, reflecting its position and reputation.
