The fourth release in the adorable Mother’s Love coin series features the brown bear. From the time a mother brown bear welcomes the arrival of her litter, a maternal bond is formed.  Her cubs are vulnerable and reliant on her for food and shelter, and will usually stay in her sole care for up to four years. During these formative years, brown bear cubs learn how to hunt, fish and survive by imitating the behaviour of their adored protector.

The coin’s reverse features a coloured brown bear cub being cuddled by its mother in a cave. The inscription BROWN BEAR and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark also appear in the design.

Issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu, the coin’s obverse depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2014 year-date, and the monetary denomination.

Each coin is housed in a classic presentation case with a stylised shipper featuring stunning imagery, and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
