2024 Canada $5 The Majestic Polar Bears Premium Bullion Fine Silver (No Tax)
Premium Bullion: Rarity, purity and quality assured
Continuing the narrative established on the first (2022) Premium Bullion in special packaging, the 2024 edition features a tender scene of a polar bear and her almost independent cub nuzzling in their Arctic habitat.
Designed for collectors and investors alike, each coin has been crafted in 99.99% pure silver with a minimum guaranteed weight of one ounce. It comes in a card holder that provides an unobstructed view of the coin’s remarkable features, including the dazzling sunburst finish and paw print markings on the reverse, and the Canadian effigy of His Majesty King Charles III on the obverse.
A polar bear cub stays with its mother for the first two or three years of life. Once it strikes out on its own, the subadult faces many challenges as it continues to hone its hunting skills, but survival rates improve once it reaches adulthood and is ready to mate—that’s four to six years of age for females, while the prime breeding years for males begin around age 10.
The reverse design by Canadian artist W. Allan Hancock shows a polar bear (Ursus maritimus) mother and her almost independent cub nuzzling in their Arctic habitat. Paired with paw print markings that reflect the theme, the tender scene is set against radial lines that create a dramatic sunburst finish, while the coin’s purity and weight, the word “CANADA” and the year “2024” are all inscribed along the outer edge. The obverse features a sunburst finish behind the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
