2017 Canadian Grizzly Bear Gold Coin | 1/3 oz

The 2017 Canadian Grizzly Bear Gold Coin 1/3 oz is a 0.9999 fine gold fractional coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint as official Canadian legal tender. The reverse showcases a powerful grizzly bear, mouth open in a roar, perched on a rocky outcrop — a dramatic, high-relief design that captures the raw presence of one of Canada's most iconic wildlife subjects. The inscription "FINE GOLD 1/3 OZ OR PUR" and the "9999" fineness mark are incised directly into the reverse field alongside the country designation "CANADA." The obverse presents the Susanna Blunt portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the legend "ELIZABETH II D.G. REGINA" and the face value of 15 Dollars, confirming its status as Royal Canadian Mint legal tender. Weighing 0.333 troy oz of .9999 fine gold, this fractional size offers an accessible entry point into Royal Canadian Mint gold without sacrificing the artistry and purity the mint is known for worldwide. The 2017 date and the grizzly bear motif place this coin firmly within Canada's beloved wildlife coin tradition, making it a compelling addition to any gold coin or Canadian numismatic collection.
