The species itself is actually quite diverse, with various subspecies currently and previously existing in harmony on the North American continent. These include the mainland grizzly, Kodiak bear, peninsular grizzly, and the recently extinct California and Mexican grizzlies. The name grizzly bear comes from the descriptions of early explorers to the North American west who encountered the beasts first. There are two sources of the name. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark encountered the bears while exploring the west for the American government and described them as grisly. This term could mean grizzled, as in golden with grey tips of hair. It could also mean grisly, or fear-inspiring and gruesome. Clearly it is the latter that has stuck in the minds of most. On the reverse face of the 2017 1.5 oz Canadian Grizzly Bear coin youll find the image of the Grizzly. The reverse of this coin features an adult grizzly standing on a rocky outcropping. The bear is roaring with full force, letting all creatures know who is in charge. Engravings include the nation and year of issue, the coins purity, metal content, and weight. There are also the RCMs latest anti-counterfeiting design features, which include the Maple Leaf privy with year of issue inside and the radial lines along the edge.
