Animal Portraits Polar Bear 1 Oz Fine Silver Coin Canada 2025

Step into the wild, or let it come to you, with the new Animal Portraits series of selectively gold-plated 99.99% pure silver coins! This first coin travels to Canada’s Arctic region for a view of the great northern bear: Ursus maritimus, better known as the polar bear, the largest of Canada’s four resident bear species. This coin’s reverse offers a rare close encounter with this revered Arctic emblem, unguarded and seemingly unaware of the viewer’s presence, as it casually steps out of the framed centre portion.

A new wildlife series begins.
