Canada: 2018 $20 Canadian Mosaics: Grizzly Bear 1 oz. Pure Silver Coin

Design: The reverse image by Jori van der Linde features Colour Mosaic technology, a combination of engraving and paint techniques that transform a traditional wildlife portrait into mosaic art. More than 130 individually engraved, differently shaped "tiles" combine to form a side-profile view of a grizzly bear wading through a fast-moving, salmon-rich river. While engraved "grout" lines mimic the look of raised tile, different paint effects alter the intensity of each coloured segment, save for the proof shine of the rocks that have been "polished" by the fast-moving water. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
