2017 Canadian $100 Sculpture of Majestic Canadian Animals: Grizzly Bear - 10 oz Fine Silver Coin
The mighty grizzly (Ursus arctos) has been an important feature of Canada’s cultural mythology for centuries. Even today, it is one of the foremost Canadian species that we often put on a pedestal—a sacred totem to the First Nations, and a pillar of strength in the Canadian wilderness. This fine silver coin serves as a proud showcase of this noble creature, through a uniquely shaped embellishment that conveys much of its legendary strength and beauty.
Features
- FIRST in a new five-coin series that takes a uniquely multi-dimensional approach to depicting Canada’s iconic grizzly bear.
- The coin’s large diameter (65 mm) provides the perfect pedestal for the silver, gold-plated bear-shaped embellishment emerging from the reverse—it’s an outstanding RCM FIRST that is a must-see, must-have!
- A testament to the Royal Canadian Mint spirit of innovative artistry and craftsmanship, the silver statuette is uniquely shaped to recreate the grizzly’s most distinctive features.
- Despite its unusual shape, each coin is safely protected inside a dome-like capsule that protects it from the elements, which is in turn carefully packaged in a custom graphic beauty box.
- A standout addition to any collection—especially those with a focus on innovative features and techniques, or any nature- or wildlife-themed collections!
Design
The reverse design by Canadian big game sculptor Karl Lansing represents a sculptural celebration of a Canadian icon. Carefully shaped to resemble a grizzly bear (Ursus arctos), a silver gold-plated embellishment emerges from the coin’s flat surface to give it its multi-dimensional look and feel. The grizzly’s distinctive hump and concave facial profile are prominent, along with its rounded ears; as the bear pauses mid-step to look to the right, one yearns to touch the statuette’s ridged surface, which beautifully mimics the bear’s furry appearance.
