Comment
This grizzly bear coin is the first in the Sculpture of Majestic Canadian Animals coin series, which depicts animals in a uniquely multi-dimensional approachThe 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.
