There are few safer options for stacking silver coins than Canadian coins and the Royal Canadian Mint is undoubtedly the benchmark, with extraordinary quality coins.

Undoubtedly the most popular are the 1 OZ maple leaf but there are many other extraordinary coins and this is the case of the 10 oz Canadian Grizzly Bear Silver Coin (BU) a coin of great beauty.

This is a large 10 OZ silver coin that references the fauna of Canada, in this case the Grizzly bear.

On the obverse of the coin we can see a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II typical of these coins.

On the reverse of the coin is where all the beauty of the piece is. We can see a great Grizzly bear bellowing ferociously at the immensity of the valley. On some rocks he shows everyone who wants to see him the power of him. The detail of the bear's engraving is fantastic and we can almost distinguish its fur as if it were a photograph. To put a but, only in a personal capacity, I would like it to be a colored coin.
