In this forest shadow box, each layer adds to the story.
The balance of nature depends on predator-prey relationships that drive evolution, with each side of that relationship striving to adapt in order to survive. Every organism plays a part in the web of life, and that concept is beautifully illustrated on this fine silver collectible featuring a spellbinding shadow box composition on its reverse. Filled with lush flora and hidden fauna, the shadow box design is composed of superimposed layers of engraving that gently overlap, each casting shadows on the next and obscuring important story details that are only visible when viewed from a certain angle, ultimately revealing that the hunter may actually be the hunted!
Enjoy a woodland scene filled with hidden details… and dangers.

The superimposed layers purposely overlap to obscure some details that are only revealed when viewed from a different angle, which will change how you view this scene.
LE SAVIEZ-VOUS ?
Wolves and cougars are among the known predators of Canada lynx which in turn are primary predators of snowshoe hares that average about 75% of their diet. When competing for resources within a shared territory, the larger and stronger wolf has some advantages over the lynx, but the wild cat is more agile and can escape a threat by climbing trees.
À PROPOS DE LA MONNAIE ROYALE CANADIENNE
La Monnaie royale canadienne est connue pour être l'une des monnaies les plus réputées au monde. La succursale d'Ottawa de la Monnaie royale a ouvert ses portes en 1908 et a été rebaptisée Monnaie royale canadienne en 1931 lorsque le contrôle a été transféré au gouvernement canadien. Ses normes élevées d'excellence et de qualité lui ont permis d'être la première raffinerie à fabriquer des pièces d'investissement en or d'une pureté de 9999 en 1982, ainsi que la première à atteindre une pureté d'or de 99999 en 1998.
