Description
Wilderness is the fifth commemorative coin released in the Northern Nature coin series. Six coins in total have been minted: Summer, Flora, Fauna, Winter, Wilderness and Waters.
The enchantment of the wild never fades. This collector coin minted in honour of the Northern wilderness reminds us of the magical beauty of our coniferous forests. The North is part of the taiga zone of conifers encircling the northern hemisphere. The mental landscape of huntsmen and other inhabitants of the North is inspiring no matter the season, as it shifts from pure white snow to the riot of autumn colour.
