About the Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Lauren Crawshaw, your coin presents a touching portrait of the bond that exists within a family of grizzly bears, which are renderedwith finely detailed engraving. With the mountains of western Canada serving as a backdrop, a female grizzly bear is lying in the grass on a warm summer day; her expression is a touching one that is filled with maternal love and attentive devotion to her brood. One cub playfully stands on its mother'ship with an expressive stance, vocalizing and excitedly moving its forepaws as though communicating a story to its captivated audience. A quieter siblinglies close to the mother, draping itself over the female's forepaw; this cub's head is turned towards the viewer, as though peering hesitatingly out of the coin's image field with an innocent expression.
