2022 $250 Timber Wolf Gold Coin - (EHR)

With its piercing eyes and alert ears, the timber wolf’s profile is unmistakable—and when depicted in Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR), these striking features inspire awe. The third and final coin in our EHR series, crafted in 99.99% pure gold, offers another exquisitely sculpted, lifelike wildlife portrait. This time, the timber wolf emerges from the coin’s mirror-like surface, reaching an extraordinary height of over 6 mm.

A breathtaking tribute to strength and beauty, this coin is the perfect conclusion to the series.

Special Features:

• Final Coin in the EHR Series: Following the 2020 Proud Bald Eagle and 2021 Bold Bison coins, this wildlife portrait is brought to life with EHR engraving, creating a stunning, three-dimensional effect. It is the final release in a limited series of wildlife-themed coins featuring EHR and a proof finish.
• Remarkable Relief Height: Nature enthusiasts and collectors will be mesmerized by the coin's reverse, where the relief rises over 6 mm—more than four times higher than an Ultra High Relief (UHR) coin of the same diameter.
