2016 1 oz Canadian Gold Roaring Grizzly Coin (BU)

The Final Coin in the Call of the Wild Series

The 2016 1 oz Canadian Gold Roaring Grizzly is the third and final release in the Royal Canadian Mint’s Call of the Wild series, following the Howling Wolf and the Growling Cougar. A finite three-coin series with a clear ending tends to drive real collector demand, and being the closer gives the Grizzly a special place for anyone who owns the first two. You get a full ounce of gold, a bold design, and a piece that completes the set.

Every coin ships Brilliant Uncirculated, so the gold arrives just as it left the mint.

Ultra-Pure .99999 Fine Gold

This is where the Roaring Grizzly stands apart. The Royal Canadian Mint strikes it in .99999 fine gold, five nines, one of the purest gold standards produced anywhere in the world. Most gold coins are .9999, or four nines. That extra nine is a point of pride for the RCM and a real talking point for buyers who want the purest gold they can hold. It is a full troy ounce of that ultra-refined gold in every coin.

A Bold Canadian Design

The reverse features a roaring grizzly bear in right profile, designed by Pierre Leduc, capturing the raw power of one of North America’s most iconic animals. The obverse carries the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, along with the coin’s $200 CAD legal tender face value backed by the federal government of Canada. At 30 mm across with a reeded edge, it is a substantial, striking gold coin.

Struck by the Royal Canadian Mint

The Royal Canadian Mint is world-renowned for its refining and minting, and its five-nines gold is a big reason collectors and stackers trust the brand. That reputation, combined with a completed series and a fixed production window, is part of why the Call of the Wild coins hold such strong demand on the secondary market.

The purest gold standard in the business, a full ounce of it, the final coin in a finite series, and the backing of the Royal Canadian Mint. It is .99999 fine and IRA-eligible in this Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Order protected and ready for your set or your safe.
