This $50 fine silver coin offers a fresh twist on emblematic art by reimagining a Canadian heraldic animal—the black bear from the Ontario Coat of Arms—in a whole new way: in Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR) and surrounded by Ultra High Relief (UHR).

 

Emblematic of strength and courage in the wild, the black bear is found in the forests of nearly every Canadian province and territory, including Ontario, where its prominent placement in the provincial coat of arms—on the crest above the shield—alludes to that province’s abundance of wildlife.

 

Set against a woodgrain pattern, the bear’s head is presented in a heraldically stylized manner and featured in a forward-facing pose, allowing it to meet the viewer’s gaze. The surrounding wreath is engraved in Ultra High Relief and composed of white pine (Ontario’s arboreal emblem), trillium (Ontario’s floral emblem) and stylized maple leaves (a nod to the Arms of Canada), while the pine cones, trillium buds and maple keys signify renewal and hope for the future. The woodgrain pattern also appears on the obverse, which features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
