2013 Polar Bear

The first issue of the collection featured arguably one of the most prominent, well-known species found in Canada. Inhabiting the far northern stretches of the nation in the Arctic Circle, the Polar Bear is one of the largest land mammals alive today and lives off of seals and other animals it can find to eat in the Arctic. This design included a massive polar bear walking on an ice shelf from right to left across the coin design. Above it was an engraving of “Canada,” while below there was “Fine Silver 1 1/2 oz Argent Pur.” The purity of “9999” was also engraved on this side.
