About

Cool and content 99.999% pure gold grizzly bear coin.

Few species conjure images of the rugged Canadian wilderness like Ursus arctos. The furry king of our northern and western forests is a symbol of might on land, but it's comfortable in the water too. Whether cooling off on a hot day or chasing salmon prey, a swimming grizzly bear is a vision of strength even in an unguarded moment—like the one captured on our second Canadian Wildlife Portraits coin.

Add this five nines pure gold portrait of a grizzly bear to your coin collection.

    Obverse

    Susanna Blunt

    Designed by Canadian wildlife artist W. Allan Hancock, the reverse is a wildlife encounter that captures Ursus arctos in an unguarded moment. The swimming grizzly bear is shown emerging from the water, with water dripping from its snout and fur as it heads to shore. Also engraved on the reverse are the word "CANADA" and the year "2020". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

    W. Allan Hancock: Artist

    My intention with this design was to portray the grizzly bear going about its normal activity, while showing both the strength and the beauty of one of Canada's favourite animals. The water not only creates interesting design elements, it also offers a rare glimpse of the powerful grizzly bear enjoying a little down time.
