Tales of mysterious creatures in the night have long captured our imaginations, and in the province of Quebec, the loup-garou is one of the most renowned legends. Werewolf sightings may trace back to the age of New France, but in July 1767, an article in the Gazette de Québec warned the public to be vigilant for a loup-garou disguised as a beggar. Whether the creature or its legend was brought to these shores by settlers from France is uncertain, but a few decades earlier, a werewolf "epidemic" in France led to witch trials and executions. Several years before Quebec's famous loup-garou sighting, the Beast of Gévaudan caused hundreds of deaths in southern France, prompting King Louis XV to put a bounty on the werewolf's head. Is this shape-shifting creature cursed? The story varies depending on the storyteller. However, the loup-garou extends beyond the province of Quebec: Acadians brought the legend with them when resettling in Louisiana, where the Rougarou is said to roam the bayous and terrify misbehaving children. **The Royal Canadian Mint Silver Coins:** The Royal Canadian Mint produces some of the most sought-after Silver coins globally.
