Ice Age Legends: Canada’s Wooly Mammoth & Saber-Toothed Tiger in Silver

Long before city skylines and paved streets, Canada was a frozen kingdom ruled by giants.

From the tundra to the boreal wilds, predators and titans roamed the land. The Royal Canadian Mints 2 oz Silver Maple Leaf Ice Age Series brings them back, struck in .9999 fine silver with the artistry and detail worthy of their legend.

2024 Wooly Mammoth – The Tusked Monarch

Towering over the ancient landscape, the woolly mammoth was more than just a creature, it was a symbol of survival and strength. Shrouded in dense fur, with tusks curling like ivory crescents, it survived blizzards, glacial winds, and predators that dared to challenge it.

In Canadian lore, whispers persist that the last mammoths may have lingered far longer than science claims, hidden in remote northern valleys, glimpsed by hunters, and immortalized in Indigenous storytelling.

2024 Wooly Mammoth Silver Maple captures that enduring power: every strand of fur, every line in those colossal tusks, frozen forever in pure silver.

2023 Saber-Toothed Tiger – The Silent Apex

With fangs as long as a man’s hand and the muscle to bring down prey twice its size, the saber-toothed tiger was the phantom of the Ice Age.

While many picture it in warmer lands, Canada’s own fossil record tells a different story. The remains found in Alberta prove this predator prowled much farther north than once believed.

2023 Saber-Toothed Tiger Silver Maple immortalizes that lethal elegance: a predator poised mid-snarl, eyes fixed on its quarry, every muscle tense in a moment of primal perfection. It’s not just a coin; it’s a predator’s last breath before its strike.

Myth. History. Silver.

Together, the Woolly Mammoth and Saber-Toothed Tiger form a pairing unlike any other: one, a tusked monarch of the frozen plains; the other, a blade-toothed shadow on the hunt.

These are relics of an age when Canada belonged to the beasts!

At 99.99% purity, these Silver Maples embody true investment grade bullion, while holding a timeless allure that collectors will always cherish.

Own the legends. Hold the Ice Age.
