Item Description
 
The 2024 Royal Canadian Mint 2 oz Silver Woolly Mammoth – Ice Age Series continues the captivating Ice Age Series, celebrating the awe-inspiring creatures of prehistory. Struck from 2 troy ounces of .9999 fine silver, this Brilliant Uncirculated release captures the strength and grandeur of one of the most iconic animals to roam the ancient tundra.
 
The Woolly Mammoth was a massive, shaggy elephant distinguished by its long curved tusks and thick coat adapted to the frigid climates of Europe, Asia, and North America. Living from approximately 300,000 years ago until about 10,000 years ago, the species bore strong resemblance to the modern-day Asian elephant, its closest living relative. Its dramatic presence and eventual extinction have made it one of the most studied and recognized prehistoric animals.
 
Scientific interest in the mammoth has continued into the modern era due to the discovery of preserved soft tissue and recoverable DNA in frozen remains. Ongoing research and revival discussions have kept the mammoth central to both paleontological study and contemporary scientific exploration. This coin honors that enduring fascination through bold engraving and high-purity silver craftsmanship.
