Start your journey into the wild with Coin #1.
First coin in a new series! The Wildlife Reflections 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. Ursus arctos 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.
COIN HIGHLIGHTS
- Coin #1 of 3. The three-coin Wildlife Reflections series celebrates Canada’s natural beauty through serene scenes set in the Canadian wilderness. Each portrait captures the majesty of both the species and the space it inhabits.
- Visually captivating. On the coin’s reverse, a selective application of colour produces a captivating scene that takes you into the wild. Those vibrant hues are the colours of nature, allowing you to experience the unspoiled beauty of the Canadian wilderness.
- Texturally enhanced. Take a closer look at the grizzly bear and its reflection—a multi-texture visual effect mimics the look of the bear’s fur and adds a realistic shimmer to the surface of the water.
- Limited mintage. Crafted in 99.99% pure silver, your coin has a limited mintage of 7,500. A stunning addition to any nature-, wildlife- or Canadiana-themed collection!
- Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
- No GST/HST!

Canada is home to up to 26,000 grizzly bears, with more than half of the population residing in British Columbia—the rest can be found in forested regions of Alberta and the three territories.
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.
