Whether you know it as the brown bear or the grizzly,the formidable Ursus arctos issynonymous with the Canada's vast wilderness. It is a traditional symbol of wisdom and strength for many First Peoples of Canada-especially in British Columbia, which is home to a quarter of North America's brown bear population. There, the salmon-catching bear plays a critical role in the health of our coastal forests, by dispersing marine-derived nutrients that link land and sea.

Design:
Your concave-shaped coin provides a unique canvas for this wildlife portrait by Denis Mayer Jr. Seen in three-quarter view, a brown bear (Ursus arctos) splashes its way across a salmon-rich river in Western Canada. Against a mountain backdrop, the bear seemingly pauses mid-step to gaze at the viewer. Various finishes add depth to the inward-curving design, which also includes the word "CANADA", the year "2019" and the face value of "100 DOLLARS". The equally concave-shaped obverse features a concentric pattern of maple leaves and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
