Step into the untamed wilderness of Canada's majestic mountains and forests, where the real apex predator isn't the white bear—it's the formidable Grizzly Bear. Known by its scientific name, Ursus horribilis, this colossal beast is a force of nature that commands respect.

Described as a "mysterious monster" by First Nations and Native Americans, these colossal beasts can tip the scales at over 1,320 pounds and stand a towering eight feet tall. Damstra's design depicts an enraged Grizzly, its snarl enough to make even the most seasoned woodsman rethink entering the bear's domain. Hailing from the Great Lakes region, Damstra has left her mark on numerous U.S. coin designs, including those for the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program, the American Innovation $1 Program, the 2018 Breast Cancer Awareness Commemorative Coin Program, and the 2017 Boys Town Centennial Commemorative Coin Program.
