In a landscape carved by ice and wind, the polar bear remains the unchallenged titan of the Arctic. Its unmistakable profile lends itself beautifully to sculptured works of art-particularly the soapstone piece on the reverse of this 5 oz. Pure silver coin, which colourfully conveys the majesty of life in Northern Canada. The natural beauty of Northern Canada shines bright on the reverse, thanks to a harmonious mix of finishing techniques and a polar bear soapstone sculpture that makes each coin unique. As it does for Arctic marine life, ice floe provides the foundation for this design: engraving provides a life-like textural effect, while a special frosting gives the snow-covered ice a more matte-like appearance. The surrounding water is a sparkling shade of blue, thanks to the application of translucent enamel over the proof finish. But the focal point is undeniably the sculptured piece that rises up from the ice floe: each polar bear sculpture has been hand-carved from Canadian soapstone by Canadian artist Dave Zachary and his team of sculptors. With its gaze fixed on what lies ahead, the polar bear cuts a formidable figure in this Arctic landscape, where it is regarded as an icon of strength and endurance. Introducing an unforgettable coin that pairs a traditional soapstone sculpture with contemporary coin-making techniques! Rising up on the reverse, each polar bear sculpture is carefully hand-carved from Canadian soapstone by a Canadian artist Dave Zachary. Engraving recreates the rough edges of the ice on the reverse, while translucent colour enamel adds a deep blue hue to the Arctic waters. With a 65.25 mm diameter, the coin’s surface provides a large base for the soapstone sculpture, while proof-quality 99.99% pure silver mimics the light-reflective nature of the Arctic landscape! A dome-like capsule will keep your coin safely protected from the elements. With a mintage of just 1,300, your coin is a limited collectible work of art that will draw all eyes toward your collection! Composition: 99.99% pure silver. Weight (g): 157.6. Diameter (mm): 65.25.

With its gaze fixed on what lies ahead, the polar bear cuts a formidable figure in this Arctic landscape, where it is regarded as an icon of strength and endurance. The polar bear is uniquely adapted for life at the top of the world, with thick white fur that provides both protection and camouflage. More than half of the world’s polar bear population can be found in areas along Canada’s northern coastlinefrom James Bay up to the Arctic Archipelago, and from the Yukon’s coastline to that of Newfoundland and Labrador. This immense bear spends most of its life on the sea ice that is vital to the Arctic marine environment; but as its scientific name implies. Is a natural swimmer, and won’t shy away from plunging into the water to get from one icy platform to another. Soapstone is a softer grade of rock that can have a greasy, soap-like feel to the touchhence its name. A metamorphic rock, it is largely composed of talc mixed with other minerals that cause variations in hues and markings, including pyrite crystals that can add flecks of gold! The first Canadian production of soapstone was in 1871, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. Today, it is found in many provinces, and in some localities throughout the North. The coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded wooden circular base with a black beauty box.
