Nature is a web of intricate connections. In her first coin design with the Mint, Canadian artist Caitlin Lindstrom-Milne has created a captivating double image to demonstrate how the grizzly bear contributes to this harmony. An upper body portrait showcases the grizzly’s formidable power. But look closely at its silhouette to see the unseen. Subtle engraving and unprecedented finesse reveal the bear’s inner nature, and the profound relationship it shares with its prey and the land.

Designed by Canadian artist Caitlin Lindstrom-Milne, your coin features an upper-body portrait of a grizzly bear against a gold-plated background of Canada violets within a series of squares. A sockeye salmon swerves in front of the bear’s muzzle that is wide open in an attempt to catch the fish. A waterfall with distant mountains is engraved within the bear’s silhouette. Rocks protrude from the water and line the riverbank where evergreens grow. “CANADA 2019 50 DOLLARS” appears in the lower left quadrant of the design. Its engraving echoes the curved shape of a swimming salmon. On the obverse, the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt with “ELIZABETH II D.G. REGINA” engraved along the outer edge of the coin.
“The grizzly bear is fierce. It dominates the landscape. I wanted to balance all that power with a delicate flower that grows where the grizzly catches salmon. It was an interesting challenge to communicate this duality within the round shape of a coin.” Caitlin Lindstrom-Milne, Artist
