Culminating the Royal Canadian Mint's acclaimed 1.5 oz Wildlife bullion series, the 2017 Grizzly Bear roars onto the scene with power and presence. Struck in .9999 fine silver, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin features the fearsome Canadian grizzly in a dynamic pose, celebrating the raw strength and untamed spirit of Canada's wilderness.
Design Insight:
The reverse design by artist Pierre Leduc captures the moment of a charging grizzly, jaws open and muscles tensed, set against a backdrop of Canada's rugged terrain. The detailed engraving and radial lines deliver both aesthetic impact and security against counterfeiting, staying true to the RCM's high standards.
