The first coin of the new series. The Wildlife Reflections series celebrates Canada's natural beauty with colorful, texturally enhanced images of Canadian fauna, starting with the grizzly bear.
Few mammals are as closely associated with the forested regions of western and northern Canada as the grizzly bear, a true symbol of these wild spaces. Ursus arctos is Canada's largest land-dwelling carnivore, and while its power is undeniable, the reverse of this coin inspires wonder, showcasing a peaceful moment at sunrise, with a mighty grizzly bear and its salmon prey as a reflection of the ecosystems in which they live.
Created by wildlife artist Claude Thivierge, the coin's reverse features a colorful sunrise setting the tone for a peaceful river scene, while sculpted mountains and forests provide an attractive backdrop. The colors chosen include both the grizzly bear and its salmon prey and their reflections in the water below, while a multi-textured effect mimics the sheen of fur and reflections on the surface of the water. The obverse features an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
