ROYAL CANADIAN MINT · FINITE SILVER BULLION SERIES
02 / 06Roaring bear, water, mountain
READING THE COIN
A roaring grizzly shifts the visual grammar from watchful stillness to confrontation, backed by water and a compressed mountain horizon.
The bear turns toward the right edge with its jaws open and shoulder hump raised. Water occupies the lower-right field, while a tight mountain ridge rises behind the animal; Woodruff's WW initials sit to the left below the peaks.
