Comment
This is the first time a Canadian $8 value coin was minted and was also the first Canadian coin to depict the image of a grizzly bear, a fitting tribute to this Canadian symbol of untamed wilderness. It was issued on February 16, 2004.Interesting fact
The 2004 Canadian Grizzly Bear Silver Coin has a unique feature - it has a mirror-like finish on the reverse side, which creates a stunning visual effect. This was achieved through a process called "specular proof" finishing, which involves polishing the dies to create a mirror-like surface. This technique was first used by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2004, and it has since become a distinctive feature of their proof coins.
