A growling grizzly bear in Ultra High Relief—a commanding example of the unconquerable nature of Canada’s wilderness.
Few North American species are as revered as the enigmatic grizzly bear. A long-time symbol of strength and of our wild spaces, Ursus arctos horribilis has the reputation of being a skilled hunter, a resourceful scavenger and a fiercely protective mother. Grizzly bears prefer to remain out of sight in Canada’s western forests and Arctic tundra, but when it does come into view, this strong and intelligent creature instantly commands all our attention and respect—especially when its likeness is captured in Ultra High Relief (UHR) and in 99.99% pure gold, as seen on this coin.
Marvel at this pure gold, UHR portrait of strength in the wilds of Canada.
COIN HIGHLIGHTS
- Stunning Ultra High Relief (UHR) adds realism. The Ultra High Relief height of 1.6 mm brings outstanding height and depth to this intricately sculpted portrait of the grizzly bear, which stands out against the forest backdrop.
- View a great hunter in its Canadian habitat. Powerful and solitary, the grizzly bear has long typified the Canadian wilderness; on this coin’s reverse, it serves as a commanding example of strength.
- A gorgeous golden gleam. Your coin is 99.99% pure gold and features a deeply reflective, mirror-like finish that radiates luxury and light to extraordinary effect.
- Low mintage. With just 575 coins available to collectors worldwide, this is an exclusive collector piece and a soon-to-be coveted addition to any gold- or wildlife-themed collection.
- Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
- No GST/HST.
PACKAGING
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
A MORE EXPANSIVE UHR VIEW THAN EVER BEFORE
Your coin presents a full-body view with multi-level relief heights using our most innovative UHR minting relief technique to date.
MULTIPLE FROSTINGS FOR DYNAMIC LIGHT PLAY
The artistry doesn’t end at the engraving: multiple frostings alter the way the light reflects off the different design elements, creating a more realistic rendering of both the grizzly bear and its surroundings.
** AN EMILY DAMSTRA ORIGINAL**
Your coin’s reverse was designed by Emily Damstra, the award-winning artist who has created many coin designs for the Royal Canadian Mint and the United States Mint, including the American Silver Eagle Type 2 coin.
DID YOU KNOW?
A grizzly bear’s keen sense of smell helps it identify a food source, and it is able to sprint quickly over short distances. If you see a grizzly bear in the wild, it’s best to give it plenty of space — in doing so, you’ll be helping to preserve this wilderness icon that is an important part of Canada’s natural heritage.
Designed by artist Emily Damstra, your coin’s reverse invites you to step into the boreal forest of Western Canada, where the grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) reigns supreme. The low perspective, combined with Ultra High Relief (UHR), emphasizes the grizzly bear’s imposing size and appearance. Standing on a rock outcrop or cliff and surrounded by towering conifers, the elusive grizzly has perceived a threat; growling as it looks down from its perch, the bear has raised its paw as if to strike and has a fierce expression on its face. The obverse features a maple leaf pattern behind the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
