2014 NGC PF-70 1 oz Woolly Mammoth Silver Coin
The Royal Canadian Mint introduces its Prehistoric Animal series by showcasing the Woolly Mammoth
The Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) remains a symbol of the Ice Age and continues to captivate imaginations worldwide. Resembling modern elephants, the woolly mammoth had distinctive qualities that helped in its frigid environment, including smaller ears and a shorter tail to conserve heat, a thick coat of fur, and a prominent fat hump for energy storage.
The coins contain 1 Troy oz of 99.99% pure silver and a proof finish that enhances the design.
Today, SD Bullion offers 2014 1 oz Woolly Mammoth Silver Coins graded by NGC as PF-70 coins.

The Design
The obverse displays Susan Blunt’s effigy of an elegant Queen Elizabeth II. The artist’s initials are discreetly on the bottom of Her Majesty’s right-profile bust.
Her Majesty’s bust is surrounded by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II, “CANADA,” and “D.G.REGINA,” which means “By the Grace of God, Queen” in Latin.
The reverse design showcases a Woolly Mammoth with its trunks on the air and huge tusks. The inscriptions that encircle the image correspond to face value, issuance, fineness, metal content, and weight through: “20 DOLLARS 2014” on top, “9999 FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR 9999.”
