Half Ounce
Silver Timber Wolf Canadian Bullion Coin

When the half ounce Silver Timber Wolf bullion coin was released, it became an instant classic. The silver coin is now considered more of a collector's coin, than an investment grade, bullion coin.

When the Royal Canadian Mint first released the silver coin, it had an asking price of $4.50. 

In 2011, at the height of the last Silver Bull Market the coin's price on the secondary market rose to near $50.00 (each).

At the time, the half-oz silver Timber Wolf bullion coin became so popular that the Royal Canadian Mint used the image for the first released bullion coin in the Canadian Wildlife series: 1oz. 2011 Timber Wolf  .
