First Silver coin of the new series Sculpture of Majestic Animals, that takes a uniquely multi-dimensional approach to depicting Canadas iconic Grizzly bear. This huge 65 mm coin, crafted in gold plated bear shape, weighs 315.71 grams. The coin comes presented in a wooden circular base with black case and Certificate of Authenticity included. Limited worldwide mintage to 1.200 pcs. 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 coins flat surface to give it its multi-dimensional look and feel. The grizzlys 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 statuettes ridged surface, which beautifully mimics the bears furry appearance. Grizzly Bear The grizzly bear less commonly called the silvertip bear, is any North American morphological form or subspecies of brown bear, including the mainland grizzly (Ursus arctos horribilis), Kodiak bear U. Middendorffi, peninsular grizzly U. Gyas, and the recently extinct California grizzly and Mexican grizzly bear U. Scientists do not use the name grizzly bear but call it the North American brown bear. It should not be confused with the black grizzly or Ussuri brown bear U. Lasiotus which is another giant brown bear inhabiting Russia, Northern China, and Korea.
