The golden Canadian Roaring Grizzly coin from 2016 is the third edition in the "Call of the Wild" series by the Royal Canadian Mint. This beautiful gold coin features a roaring grizzly bear, with lines in the background representing the sound of waves and the wildness of this predator.
The Call of the Wild series from the Royal Canadian Mint highlights the beauty of wild animal species in the Canadian wilderness. Each design focuses on a different native species in North America, with each animal captured in its howl, roar, or call, which has the ability to instill fear in its prey.
All coins in the Call of the Wild series offer an impressive purity of 9999.9 pure gold, making them the purest gold coins from the Royal Canadian Mint. With a face value of 200 USD (CAD), they are also the highest face value coins from the mint.
As the second-largest land predator in Canada, the mighty grizzly bear is an ideal subject for the third coin in the Call of the Wild series – the Call of the Wild, released by the Royal Canadian Mint.
The reverse side of the coin features a roaring grizzly bear, with lines in the background symbolizing the spreading sound of the grizzly's roar. The coin is crafted with remarkable attention to detail, depicting the large, furry head of the bear caught in the midst of roaring. You can also observe the dense fur, sharp teeth, and small, dark eyes of the predator. All these details are engraved with stunning precision.
The obverse side of all Canadian coins in the "Call of the Wild" series showcases the profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Created in 2003 by Susanna Blunt, it is the second portrait of the Queen on a Canadian coin made by a Canadian artist, alongside the face value of 200 USD and the year 2016. Each coin is individually placed on a certificate card.
