Obverse

On the obverse of each of these coins, you will see the right-profile image of Queen Elizabeth II. She has been featured on all British, Canadian, and commonwealth coins since 1952 when she was coronated Queen except in special circumstances. This particular portrait was designed by Susanna Blunt in 2003.

Reverse

The reverse image on each coin is that of a massive grizzly bear. This grizzly lays in long grasses enjoying the sun. You can see the bears large head and paws as it lounges in the beautiful nature that is all over the Canadian landscape.

History

The Royal Canadian Mint is the official mint of Canada. Owned by the federal government, the mint opened in Ottawa in 1908. Now, there is a second facility located in Winnipeg that opened in the 1980s to help increase output.
