| Reverse description | A finely detailed, naturalistic depiction of a grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) in a full walking pose, facing left, occupying the central field of the coin. The bear is rendered with exceptional sculptural relief, showcasing the characteristic shoulder hump and dense fur texture achieved through intricate engraving. The animal stands amidst a ground line of grasses and low vegetation. The denomination legend '8 DOLLARS' appears in the upper field, while the inscription 'CANADA' is positioned along the lower periphery in spaced capital letters. The polished proof fields provide a strong contrast to the frosted devices. |
