2017 $20 Iconic Canada - The Grizzly Bear Fine Silver (No Tax)

A mighty icon of Canada's majestic wilderness, the grizzly (Ursus arctoss) is a cornerstone of its ecosystem; a master in its habitat; and an omnivorous contributor to nature's delicate balancing act. Though berries and plants comprise a large portion of its diet, the wise grizzly is most famously associated with the salmon that provides it with vital nutrients, as depicted on this fine silver coin.
