This 2013 Special Edition $2 Specimen Set is the 4th set in the Royal Canadian Mint’s unique baby animal series.
The reverse image, designed by Canadian artist Glen Loates, features two young black bear cubs smiling and playing on a fallen tree in the forest. One cub has three paws on the log, climbing up, as these bears are known to do, to get a better view. The other cub leans against the tree and has an open mouth, perhaps panting from a lively play session with her sibling. A tree branch hangs in the background behind the cubs, and fallen leaves crunch under their paws.
An ideal set to begin a young person’s coin collection, and a great tool for teaching children about Canadian wildlife and nature.
