Loving and strong. Dedicated and ferocious. The polar bear is an enduring symbol of the Arctic wilderness, where the sea ice is the cornerstone of life. This fine silver coin features a touching mother-and-cub portrait of this beloved species, but with the addition of textural engraving that seemingly pushes the ice fragments right to the coin’s edge.

• NEW! ANOTHER TECHNICAL INNOVATION! This celebration of the Canadian Arctic uses innovative engineering design and Virtual Minting to shape the coin’s edge and surface in a way that perfectly complements the “glacial” theme.
• ENGRAVED WAVES add a sense of movement on the reverse and the obverse, as though the surfaced bears and the effigy have set off the ebb and flow of the water.
• CARVED EDGES: The theme extends onto the coin’s edge, which is fully engraved to mimic the jagged look of an icy edge.
• AN ICE FRAME: Texturally engraved ice fragments surround the bears on the reverse, but they also come together to form a frame on the obverse.
• LIKE NO OTHER: Artistry, craftsmanship and innovation all of these have combined to form a superb collectible piece of art, and all in 5 oz. of 99.99% pure silver.
