Canada 20 Dollars Silver Coin 2015 Grizzly Bears Battle
Grizzly Bear series
This exceptional coin captures all the power and drama of a confrontation between two gargantuan males. It's the climax of a dispute that likely began with some grunting and groaning, as well as some posturing and strutting to intimidate the other bear into submission. And if that doesn't work, the two titans will ultimately clash to determine who reigns supreme.
Obverse: Susanna Blunt’s design of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Reverse: Designed by Canadian artist Lauren Crawshaw, your coin carries the viewer to one of the many river valleys of western Canada, where tree-covered mountains and glacial peaks form a serene backdrop for this tension-filled scene. Showcasing the intensity of a confrontation between two male grizzlies during mating season, the design includes expert engraving and multiple finishes that capture the finer details such as the bears' long fur and their aggressive body language—even capturing the excess saliva that is produced in their agitated state. While the bear on the left stands higher than the bear on the right, both are erect on their hind legs in the waters of the cold river, leaving their front paws to push upon the opponent in a battle for supremacy and their choice of a mate.
