2013 O Canada $5 The Polar Bear Pure Gold Coin (#2) (No Tax)
The second $5 gold coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's exciting new O Canada series focusing on iconic Canadian animals, this beautiful coin celebrates the rich history and symbolism associated with the Canadian polar bear.
This 5-Dollar coin is certified to be 99.99% pure gold with a diameter of 16 millimetres and a metal weight of 3.13 grams. The reverse design by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc presents an outer polished border framing an inner field engraved with the full face portrait of a polar bear. The image details to stunning effect the polar bear's many unique adaptations to its Arctic home, including its small ears, fur-ringed eyes, and thick transparent fur.
The Polar Bear's distinctive black nose and eyes stand out in sharp contrast to its shaggy light-coloured body. Behind the bear we catch a glimpse of its frozen environment stretching to the horizon, broken only by the occasional jagged finger of ice pushing through the wind-swept, snow-encrusted terrain. The reverse also features a stylized polar bear paw print and the engraved word 'CANADA,' the date '2013,' and the face value of '5 DOLLARS.' The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
