2024 $20 Fine Silver Coin - Wildlife Reflections: Grizzly Bear

The Coin Company is proud to present the 2024 $20 Fine Silver Coin - Wildlife Reflections: Grizzly Bear by the Royal Canadian Mint.

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.

First in a series of contemplative portraits.

Special features

• 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.
