Product Overview

The feature coin in this two part set is a $20 fine silver coin boasting an endearing image of a Black Bear and her cub in a natural setting.  This coin is part of a popular low mintage Baby Animals series from the Royal Canadian Mint. The coin is presented in a special premium presentation created jointly by the Royal Canadian Mint and Canada Post, including a matching special issue postage stamp and first day cover.

$20 Baby Animals Bear Coin and Stamp (2015):
A three-quarter profile of the bear cub provides a view of its features, from the soft facial expression down to the cub's paws. The cub is seated in front of a salmonberry plant; both engraved elements are enhanced by the use of selective colouring which vividly recreates their colouring in the wild. On the left side of the cub, the sow appears from beyond the image and is engraved in fine detail.

About Black Bears:
Black bears are the smallest and most common bear species found in North America. Despite their name, black bears can range in colour from cinnamon to chocolate, to jet black and-in some rare cases-even white. Capable of great bursts of speed, some have been clocked at more than 50 km per hour! Canadian folklore is rich with stories about the black bear-in fact, the popular children's book character Winnie the Pooh was named after a Canadian black bear named Winnipeg; and black bears also feature prominently in the stories and traditions of Canada's Aboriginal Peoples.
