Showcasing the artistry and technical talent of the Royal Canadian Mint, this rare 99.99% pure silver coin celebrates the beloved polar bear. This coin will showcase beautifully in any coin display! CUTTING-EDGE DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY! This is the first coin in an innovative new series featuring classic Canadian icons highlighted with cutting-edge design and technology through a unique use of blue enamel. The underwater portion of the image is overlaid with translucent blue enamel that lends depth and color to this coin’s highly detailed engraving and shading. 99.99% PURE SILVER COIN! For our Canadian customers, this coin is GST/HST exempt with a limited mintage worldwide of only 4,000! Designed by Canadian artist Julius Csotonyi, this coin centers around a portrait of a mother polar bear and her tiny cub. The cub leans in against the mother’s left front leg, looking directly at the viewer as the mother gazes toward the right side of the image. The two bears stand on a small iceberg, floating amid other larger bergs in open water. Above them, the aurora borealis illuminates a starlit sky. The bottom half of the image presents the underwater view of this scene, with a school of Arctic cod swimming near the submerged section of the polar bears’ iceberg. Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell protected by a custom beauty box. Unsearched All of the coins offered in this listing are unsearched. Many coin dealers search all coins when they are received from the Mint. They “cherry-pick” the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins. Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just artists conception drawings from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
