| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a highly detailed, sculpturally rendered grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) depicted from the front-left, wading through a body of water with its head turned slightly to face right. Water drips dramatically from the bear's dense, finely engraved fur, and the mirror-like proof field captures reflections of light on the surrounding water surface. The composition conveys a powerful naturalistic scene with exceptional depth and contrast between the raised bear and the polished background field. The legend CANADA • 2020 arcs across the upper portion of the reverse, with the engraver's initials WAH appearing in the lower right field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The .99999 ("five nines") fineness used here represents the practical ceiling of gold purity achievable in commercial minting — a standard the Royal Canadian Mint pioneered and has used as a deliberate market differentiator since introducing it on the Maple Leaf bullion series in 1999. At that purity level, the metal is noticeably softer than standard .9999 gold, making even minor handling visible on the fields.
The Grizzly Bear belongs to the RCM's broader wildlife currency program, which has consistently commanded premiums above spot on the secondary market due to collector demand outpacing face-value bullion buyers.
