Interesting fact

The 2017 Canadian Gold Grizzly Bear coin features a unique design element: a grizzly bear set against a background of radiating lines that represent the aurora borealis, or northern lights. This design not only adds visual interest to the coin but also symbolizes the natural beauty and majesty of Canada's wildlife and landscapes.
