2025 Canada Animal Portraits Polar Bear 1 oz Silver Gilded Proof Coin

Step into the wild, or let it come to you, with the new Animal Portraits series of selectively gold-plated 99.99% pure silver coins from the Royal Canadian Mint.

The first coin travels to Canada’s Arctic region for a view of the great northern bear: Ursus maritimus, better known as the polar bear, the largest of Canada’s four resident bear species. This coin’s reverse offers a rare close encounter with this revered Arctic emblem, unguarded and seemingly unaware of the viewer’s presence, as it casually steps out of the framed centre portion.

Coin #1 of 3. NEW in 2025! The three-coin Animal Portraits series zooms in on some of Canada’s most magnificent wildlife species, captured in an unguarded moment and in a natural setting. Each portrait is rendered in a classic style, complete with realistic engraved details

➢Each coin is selectively plated with yellow gold: all but the animal is plated on the reverse, while the rim and effigy are plated on the obverse.
➢The polar bear on your coin’s reverse can’t be contained within the frame, it’s stepping out of the centre portion.
➢Only 7,500 coins available worldwide.
➢A fun addition to any nature- or Canadiana-themed collection!
