| Reverse description | The reverse, sculpted by Alex Tirabasso, presents a striking grizzly bear head rendered in an innovative geometric style composed of 498 distinct polygonal facets. The three-dimensional form projects dramatically from the coin's flat field in extraordinarily high relief, creating a bold interplay between naturalistic subject matter and angular, geometric abstraction. The sculptural mass protrudes outward with sharp, brilliant definition, representing a landmark achievement in modern minting technique. The legend CANADA and the denomination 25 DOLLARS are inscribed along the lower portion of the reverse, accompanied by the engraver's initials AT. |

| Additional information |
The RCM's recurring wildlife bullion program has produced dozens of near-identical annual releases, and the grizzly entry is no exception — distinguished primarily by its KM number rather than any singular production event. Mintage figures for this series are typically capped at modest levels relative to mainstream bullion, positioning them as collector-targeted issues from inception rather than genuine circulation or investment instruments.
