2021 Canada $10 2-oz Silver Creatures of the North Werewolf Gem BU

The Loup-Garou Returns To Stalk The Canadian Wilderness

With its long dark winters and miles upon miles of vast wilderness, Canada is a rich source of supernatural tales handed down from generation to generation beginning with the First Peoples and continuing through the arrival of early European settlers. One such tale concerns the Lunenburg Werewolf of Nova Scotia, a tale about a hot-tempered German immigrant who was actually a werewolf that killed his wife and child. Another even more gruesome tale was that of the Werewolf of Quebec City, a beast that terrorized that city in the 1760s. The loup-garou (French-Canadian for werewolf) disguised himself as a beggar to catch hapless victims before the locals drove the creature from their vicinity

A Terrifying Image Of Canada’s Legendary Werewolf

The werewolf is now the focus of the second release in Canada’s Creatures of the North series. Struck by the prestigious Royal Canadian Mint in two ounces of highly pure 99.99% silver, this legal-tender $10 coin features a terrifying image of snarling and hairy lycanthrope prowling through the Canadian wilderness underneath the light of an ominous full moon. You can almost hear the howls of this bloodthirsty beast echoing through the night as terrified villagers huddle in fear around their fireplaces.

Today, tales of Canada’s loup-garou have traveled across the continent and even haunt northern regions of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. There are accounts of “dogmen” handed down by First Peoples as well as more traditional werewolf tales that began soon after the Vikings first set foot on Canadian soil. Cryptozoologists have no doubt that these fierce Norsemen brought with them an extensive knowledge of werewolves when they landed their longships along Canada’s eastern coasts in the late 10th century — perhaps a few werewolves were among them as well…?
