The first issue in the new Predator series “The Grizzly” will be one of the highlights of 2020. For the first time, this 3 ounce coin will feature high relief in antique finish on both sides and it will display the animal in a threatening posture on the obverse, and on the hunt on the reverse. The coin has been designed by well-known artist Beni Debacker, who also created the highly successful Mauquoy African Big Five series.
Highlights:
First issue of a new series: Predators
First time de Greef High Relief in a 3 ounce format
First time with high relief on both sides
Fun fact: Even though Grizzlies are mighty, top-of-the-food-chain predators, they are actually omnivores. Most of their diet actually consists of nuts, fruit, leaves, and roots.
