Description
This 2015 $20 fine silver coin features the Grizzly Bear. This largely solitary animal has long been revered as an important cultural and spiritual symbol. The coin weighs just over one ounce of fine silver, and has a mintage limited to 6,500. GST/HST exempt.
The Design:
The design features a loving portrait of two grizzly bears forming a bond during the mating season. In the quiet of one of western Canada’s forests, a male and a female have come together to begin their brief courtship. Seen in three-quarter profile but with its head turned to the side, the larger-sized male is on all fours in the grassy area where they have spent the day grazing. The smaller sized female is playfully standing against the side of the male, with large forepaws resting on either side of the male’s shoulder hump. Edge lettering is also featured on this coin with the words “1 oz fine silver 1 oz argent pur” engraved in a repeating pattern.
