Meticulous engraving recreates the fox and hare’s features with extraordinary precision on such a small canvas, giving it a life-like quality that beautifully captures the texture of its winter fur. The coin is engraved with “Canada”, the date “2017” and the denomination “25 Cents”, and has a weight of .5 grams.
