Description
Emblematic of strength and courage in the wild, the black bear (Ursus americanus) is found in the forests of nearly every Canadian province and territory, including Ontario, where its prominent placement in the provincial coat of arms—on the crest above the shield—alludes to that province’s abundance of wildlife. This coin offers a fresh twist on emblematic art by reimagining a Canadian heraldic animal—the black bear from the Ontario Coat of Arms—in a whole new way: in Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR) and surrounded by Ultra High Relief (UHR). HST/GST Exempt.
The Design:
Reimagined in a heraldically stylized manner on this 99.99% pure silver coin, the bear’s head is raised and its features pushed to the forefront thanks to Extraordinarily High Relief, allowing Ontario’s heraldic animal to confront the viewer eye to eye while maintaining a watchful presence over flora emblems engraved in Ultra High Relief. It’s a stunning rendering of Canadian emblematic art!
