Reflections of Wildlife - 3 Coin Pure Silver Set (2016)

There's a tremendous variety of life to be discovered throughout Canada. From its many forests and vast mountain ranges to open plains and tundra, every ecosystem is a world onto itself with its own unique blend of fauna and flora. Yet within this diversity lies one common denominator: water—the lakes, rivers, ponds and shorelines that lure animals from the cover of dense vegetation to drink, feed and even raise their young.

This exciting new series explores the unexpected delights and soul-stirring awe that can be experienced during those rare, privileged moments of observing an animal interacting with water. It is a touching moment of quiet contemplation that is beautifully expressed through each coin in this series—unparalleled masterpieces that collectors and nature enthusiasts will treasure.

Designed by Canadian artist Maurade Baynton, your coin features a beautifully engraved wildlife portrait of a mighty grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) at the water's edge. With the dense alpine forest filling the background behind it, the hungry bear has stepped beyond the rocky shores of a pond and into the water, sending a ripple of gentle waves across the mirror-like surface. The grizzly bear's characteristic hump is all the more prominent asthis iconic animal lowers its head and seemingly gazes at its reflection in the water, which is beautifully recreated through careful finishing techniques.

Your coins are encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded wooden case.
