Predator or Prey in Shadow Box Fine Silver Coin Canada 2025

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.

Special features

• Second shadow box coin. Back by popular demand! Introduced on the 2022 From the R&D Lab: Birds in Shadow Box coin, new minting technology introduces unparalleled depth by breaking down the scene into engraved top and bottom layers, and two cut-out layers in the middle, to create a floating image effect.
• New scene. While the first shadow box coin re-visited a previous coin design, this offering features a brand-new scene that has never been done before.
• The appeal of the rare. Our first shadow box coin quickly sold out, and with only 750 available to collectors worldwide, this second one is sure to sell out quickly too! Don’t miss out!
• Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
• No GST/HST
