2019 Canada $100 10-oz Brown Bear Concave Piedfort Proof
Get Your Paws on the World’s First Double-Concave Piedfort Coin!
The outdoorsmen of western Canada are used to dealing with bears. Black Bears, they say, are like mosquitos – pests. But Brown Bears…? THOSE are the ones you gotta worry about! More commonly known as grizzly bears, Canada’s Brown Bears are magnificent animals that are representative of the nation’s love of nature and its many woodland creatures.
Now this imposing creature get its due on a coin finally large enough to do it justice, the world’s first double-concave Piedfort coin! Struck by the Royal Canadian Mint in 10 ounces of highly-pure 99.99% silver, this massive double-thick piedfort coin was created with special double-concave coin blanks in a process that took more than a year of extensive research and testing to develop. The end result is this $10 legal tender coin that measure an amazing 60 mm in diameter.
The inward-curved surface draws you in to the central image of Ursus Arctos – the indomitable grizzly bear – as it looks up from a forest stream while an army of trees form a forest wall in the background. The detail is amazing and so lifelike that it almost appears like the bear is looking at you and pondering whether or not you ‘d be a tasty snack worth pursuing! The coin’s obverse also features an inward-curved surface and depicts a regal image of Queen Elizabeth II. Struck in immaculate Proof condition, the beautifully frosted details majestically rise over mirror-like fields culminating in another tour de force for the artisans at the Royal Canadian Mint.
But here’s the catch: just 500 of these grizzly-sized proofs have been struck – an edition far too small for everyone who would like to get their paws on one. In fact, this first-ever release has already been announced as being completely sold out at the mint! Don’t hibernate on this one; order yours today. Each also comes in its original government packaging consisting of a beautiful display box and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the mint.
