Description

For the indigenous people of North America, a bear was not just a bear, but also possessed a soul and was considered a supernatural being that was viewed with a mixture of awe and fear.

In the mythology of the indigenous people of North America, great strength and healing powers were attributed to the bear. In some legends, bears instructed humans in medicine and herbalism.

On the coin’s obverse, a snarling bear stands upright against a forest background, the image framed by an ornament reminiscent of Native American handicraft. The reverse features a stylised bear head in close-up looking directly at the viewer through emerald-green eyes made of crystals by Swarovski®.
