Canada 2014 Rare Seven Sacred Teachings Courage Bear Gold Plated 1 Oz Silver 20 Proof Coin. Part of a Very Limited 7000 Native American Inspired Lot. Brand New Mint Condition with Original Packaging and Certificate of Authenticity. The bear is one of seven animals featured in the Seven Sacred Teachings practiced by Aboriginal people throughout North America for living a full and happy life. The bear’s lesson is courage; the ability to overcome fear, to fight for what is right, and knowing when it is best to yield. When we face difficult challenges, the bear will support us and guide us towards the wisdom and strength of our inner warrior. There is a time for everything; a time to yield and a time to fight. The bear teaches this well when it sets aside its shy and solitary nature to reveal its inner strength. A mother bear defending her cubs is unstoppable; she is ferocious and will fight to the end. She does this because she knows it is right. It takes courage to stand up despite the fear. Such strength is not only physical, but mental and moral as well. Every person faces challenges that need the support and guidance of the courageous bear. Fine silver (99.99% pure) with selective gold plating. Nathalie Bertin (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse).
