An intricate sculpture of a grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) emerges from the flat surface of this coin to give it a multi-dimensional look and feel. The great bear is portrayed pausing mid-step as it looks to its right. Its distinctive hump and concave facial profile are clearly visible, and one can almost feel the "grizzled" texture of its fur. A testament to the Royal Canadian Mint's spirit of innovative artistry and craftsmanship, the silver statuette is uniquely shaped to recreate the grizzly's most distinctive features. The reverse was designed by Canadian big game sculptor Karl Lansing, your coin represents a sculptural celebration of a Canadian icon. The coin's large 65 mm diameter provides the perfect pedestal for the gold-plated silver bear-shaped embellishment emerging from the coin! Despite its unusual shape, the coin is safely protected inside a dome-like capsule that protects it from the elements. It is encapsulated and housed in a wooden display case with a black beauty box. Grizzly Bear is the first coin in the series „Sculpture‘s of Majestic Canadian Animals“, which depicts animals in a uniquely multi-dimensional approach.
