The 2017 Canadian Grizzly Bear silver coin is a 1.5 troy ounce, .9999 fine silver bullion coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint. It is part of Canada's broader wildlife-themed bullion series and carries official legal tender status under the Canadian dollar, though its value as a physical silver product far exceeds its face denomination. The coin's above-standard weight places it in a distinct category among modern silver bullion issues, giving it a different profile than standard one-ounce coins while remaining fully accessible to collectors and physical metal buyers alike.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, meaning it has not entered circulation and retains all of its original mint detail. The Royal Canadian Mint is recognized globally for the precision and consistency of its silver bullion production, and this coin reflects that standard in both metal quality and strike quality.

The coin's above-standard weight places it in a distinct category among modern silver bullion issues, giving it a different profile than standard one-ounce coins while remaining fully accessible to collectors and physical metal buyers alike.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, meaning it has not entered circulation and retains all of its original mint detail. The Royal Canadian Mint is recognized globally for the precision and consistency of its silver bullion production, and this coin reflects that standard in both metal quality and strike quality.
The Royal Canadian Mint has operated since 1908 and has long been considered one of the world's leading producers of sovereign-struck bullion coinage. Its Canadian Wildlife Series, launched in the early 2010s, introduced a rotating lineup of iconic North American animals as a way to diversify Canada's silver bullion offerings beyond the flagship Maple Leaf program. The Grizzly Bear joined that tradition as a recognizable symbol of Canadian wilderness and natural heritage.
The 1.5 oz format was a deliberate departure from convention. Rather than following the standard one-ounce structure that dominates the sovereign bullion market, the Royal Canadian Mint introduced this weight to appeal to buyers looking for something beyond the ordinary without committing to a full two-ounce coin. That decision helped this issue carve out a distinct identity within the broader Canadian silver bullion catalog.
Canada's commitment to .9999 fine silver across its bullion coin programs set a benchmark that relatively few sovereign mints have matched. The Grizzly Bear coin benefits from this legacy, carrying the same purity standard that has made Canadian silver coinage a consistent presence in wholesale bullion markets and collector inventories around the world.
The reverse of the coin features a highly detailed engraving of a grizzly bear, rendered with a level of relief and texture that communicates the animal's physical power. The bear is depicted mid-stride, its muscular frame and thick fur conveying motion and presence. Background elements provide natural context without overcomplicating the composition, keeping the subject firmly at the center of the design.
The obverse carries the standard portrait of Queen Elizabeth II as designed by Susanna Blunt, which was the official effigy used on Canadian coinage during this period. The portrait is accompanied by the face value, the issuing country, and the year of issue. This side of the coin follows the consistent obverse format that Canadian bullion coins maintained for decades, providing immediate recognizability to those familiar with the series.
The coin's finish reflects the Royal Canadian Mint's precision striking capabilities. The fields are clean and reflective, and the detail work across the bear's coat and facial features demonstrates the quality of die preparation that the Mint is known for. At 1.5 ounces, the coin also has a physical presence that distinguishes it from lighter silver issues.
The Royal Canadian Mint strikes this coin to a declared purity of .9999 fine silver, which represents four-nines fineness, one of the highest standards in sovereign silver coin production. Each coin is produced under the Mint's established quality controls, and the specifications are backed by the issuing authority of the Canadian government. The coin's legal tender status provides an additional layer of institutional accountability that is absent from privately produced rounds and bars.
We carry only authentic Royal Canadian Mint issues and verify the products we handle for correct weight and metal characteristics. Our authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC mean that customers seeking third-party certification for collectible pieces have direct access to the industry's most respected grading services through our platform, though this coin in BU condition is typically held and traded as raw bullion rather than submitted for grading.
Brilliant Uncirculated indicates that this coin was struck for bullion distribution and has not been placed into general circulation. The surfaces will show the coin as it left the Mint, with full detail and no wear from handling in commerce. BU coins from the Royal Canadian Mint are struck to bullion standards rather than proof standards, so minor contact from the production or handling process is possible, but the coin's design integrity and metal content remain fully intact.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to prevent contact damage during transit. The Royal Canadian Mint typically packages 1.5 oz Wildlife Series coins in tubes of 20, and those tubes arrive sealed. Larger quantities are packaged in sealed mint boxes. When ordering, the format you receive will correspond to the quantity selected, with single units in flips and tube quantities packaged as the Mint originally intended. We make every effort to communicate packaging formats clearly so buyers can set accurate expectations before a purchase is made.
The price of this coin is tied directly to the spot price of silver, which fluctuates continuously based on global market activity. The premium above spot reflects several factors specific to this coin: its sovereign issuance by the Royal Canadian Mint, its non-standard 1.5 oz weight, its .9999 fine purity, and its position within a recognized and collectible series. Premiums on wildlife-themed sovereign coins often track a modest but consistent spread above standard one-ounce bullion coins, reflecting their narrower production runs and the demand from collectors as well as bullion buyers.
Our pricing is updated in real time and reflects actual market conditions rather than fixed retail structures. Buyers who want a clearer view of how premiums and bid/ask spreads move over time will find our platform's transparent pricing framework useful for understanding the true cost of acquiring and potentially reselling this coin.
The 2017 Grizzly Bear silver coin trades in both the collector market and the broader bullion market, which gives it a dual audience compared to more generic silver products. Its .9999 purity and Royal Canadian Mint origin make it widely recognized and accepted in resale environments globally. The non-standard 1.5 oz weight can narrow the buyer pool slightly compared to one-ounce coins, but the series maintains consistent demand among Canadian wildlife collectors and silver bullion buyers who recognize the issuing authority.
We operate a two-way market that allows customers to sell back to us at competitive buyback prices. We believe that understanding the expected resale value of a coin before purchasing it is a meaningful part of making an informed decision, and our platform is structured to make that information visible rather than secondary. Liquidity considerations are part of how we present every product, not an afterthought addressed only when a customer is ready to sell.
This coin appeals to buyers who want something beyond the standard one-ounce silver format without moving into multi-ounce territory. The 1.5 oz weight is uncommon enough to stand apart from the bulk of the sovereign silver market while remaining practical in size and weight. Its .9999 purity is among the highest available in sovereign silver coinage, and the Royal Canadian Mint's reputation for precision striking ensures that the quality of the finished coin matches the quality of the metal.
The Grizzly Bear design holds genuine appeal for collectors who follow Canadian wildlife issues specifically, which creates a secondary demand profile alongside standard bullion interest. That combination of collector appeal and bullion credibility gives the coin a distinct position in the silver market. Buyers who prioritize quality, recognizable issuance, and a design with lasting visual interest will find this coin a strong choice within the Canadian silver category.

Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products including the Canadian Grizzly Bear silver coin. Rather than relying on estimated or indicative prices, Pro members see real-time wholesale market pricing that reflects current supply and demand conditions.

Seeing how the bid/ask spread on this specific coin behaves over time gives buyers a more complete picture of actual market conditions before committing to a purchase.
Pro also includes real-time portfolio valuation based on live wholesale bid pricing rather than retail estimates, along with product research tools that allow members to compare premiums, spread tightness, and liquidity across the broader silver catalog. For buyers building a position in sovereign silver coins, these tools offer the kind of objective, data-driven perspective that is rarely available through traditional dealer relationships.
