This is the second coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's O Canada series, a collection of coins that celebrates the diversity and beauty of Canada's wildlife. The Royal Canadian Mint masterfully captures the majesty of the grizzly bear in careful detail, commemorating it in a half-ounce of 99.99% pure silver. Unlike the aggressive grizzly portrayed on the $5 pure gold coin from the same series, the image of this bear wears a more thoughtful expression, seen in profile, and displays its magnificent musculature proudly. A uniquely iconic symbol of Canadiana, this creature represents the multifaceted nature of our complex identity as a country. Purchase this coin to add to a large variety of collections, alone or in tandem with the $5 pure gold coin; alternatively, this piece is sure to put a smile on the face of any Canadian who receives this gift.
