BRAND NEW WITH BOX AND COA –IN STOCK. NEW IN ORIGINAL MINT PACKAGE FROM THE CANADIAN MINT. First coin in a new series! Series celebrates Canada’s natural beauty through colourful, texturally enhanced depictions of Canadian fauna, beginning with the grizzly bear (Coin #1). Few mammals are as closely associated with the forested regions of western and northern Canada as the grizzly bear, a true icon of these wild spaces. Is Canada’s largest land-based carnivore, and while its strength is indisputable, this coin’s reverse inspires awe by showcasing a quiet moment at sunrise – and by presenting the mighty grizzly and its salmon prey as a reflection of the ecosystems they inhabit. First in a series of contemplative portraits. Composition : 99.99% PURE SILVER. Weight (g) : 31.39. Face value : 20 DOLLARS. Designed by wildlife artist Claude Thivierge, your coin’s reverse features a colourful sunrise that sets the tone for a peaceful river scene, with engraved mountains and forests providing a captivating backdrop. Selective colour extends to both the grizzly bear and its salmon prey, and to their reflection in the water below, while a multi-texture effect mimics the look of fur and creates a shimmering effect on the surface of the water. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign. Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A PROBLEM BEFORE GIVING YOUR FEEDBACK. Thank’s for looking.
