Grizzly bears are North America's second-largest land carnivore and are easily distinguished from other bears by their large shoulder humps, which support their massive front legs, extremely long front claws, and large heads.
The grizzly has long been honoured as a symbol of Canada's elusive and powerful wildlife and by Canada's First Nations people for thousands of years. They are revered not just for their strength but often with the same respect as a grandfather or cherished ancestor.
ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT
The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. The Royal Canadian Mint is renowned for producing some of the highest quality and purity of gold and silver bullion coins and bars in the world. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1999.
