It reaches a head-torso length of two to three meters and a weight of up to 500 kilograms. The grizzly bear was widely spread in America in the past. In 1975 it was put on the list of endangered species, because the populations in the USA as well as in Canada had drastically decreased. The mintage is strictly limited to only 450 pieces worldwide. The Grizzly Bear gold proof coin is delivered in the original box including a numbered certificate of authenticity from the Royal Canadian Mint.
