Each of these 2017 $100 Proof Canadian Sculpture of Majestic Animals Grizzly Bear coins has a stunning obverse youve never seen on a coin before. The obverse has a 3D sculpture of a grizzly that literally comes off the coin at you, with a gold-plated finish that helps it stand out visually from the silver coins surface.
On the reverse of the Grizzly Bear coin youll find Lansings sculpture of a grizzly. The detail on the sculpture is such that you can make out the individual hairs in the grizzlys fur as it walks along the banks of a winding stream in the statue.
