This striking 2015 $300 platinum coin honours the mysterious grizzly bear, an animal with a uniquely varied set of behaviours. Often displaying great tenderness with animals and humans, and other times ready for serious aggression, could there be a more appropriate reference to the elusive Canadian identity? A limited mintage of only 250 makes this an exciting collecting opportunity! HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
Your coin features a splendid side profile of a majestic adult grizzly bear. The bear's facial features are rendered in magnificent detail. Here, the concave facial profile is noticeable as it extends from between the eyes down to the nose tip. The grizzly's short, rounded ears rise up from its shaggy fur, which is brought to life thanks to finely detailed engraving. This piece is crafted in one full ounce of 99.99% pure platinum and struck in premium proof finish, a feature which lets the eye delight in the striking details of the fur and the intensity of its expression. Posed in profile, it almost seems as if the massive grizzly was about to come to life.
