Comment

This exceptional piece illustrates all the power and dramatic intensity of a confrontation between two gigantic males. We witness the climax of a fight that probably began with grunts, poses and parries designed to intimidate the other bear into submission. If that's not enough, the two titans will engage in a final confrontation to determine the winner.

The coin features impeccable, precisely engraved lettering on the edge, indicating its metallic weight.

Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a burgundy double-shell case adorned with the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case comes with an illustrated protective box. Automatically translated

Cette pièce exceptionnelle illustre toute la puissance et l'intensité dramatique d'une confrontation entre deux mâles gigantesques. On assiste au paroxysme d'un combat qui a probablement commencé par des grognements ainsi que des poses et des parades ayant pour but d'intimider l'autre ours et de le soumettre. Si cela ne suffit pas, les deux titans se livreront à un affrontement final qui déterminera le vainqueur.

La pièce est ornée d'un impeccable lettrage sur tranche, gravé avec précision, indiquant son poids métallique.

Emballage
La pièce est encapsulée et présentée dans un boîtier à double coque bordeaux orné du logo de la Monnaie royale canadienne. Le boîtier est assorti d'une boîte protectrice illustrée.
