1/2 oz. Pure Silver Coin - O Canada! - Polar Bears (2020)

For Canadians, "north" is more than just geography: it's part of our identity, our history, our heritage – it's a way of life. And there's no better emblem for the True North than the polar bear shown on this coin. The snow-coloured titan of the Arctic is the most famous animal resident of Northern Canada. In a land shaped by wind, sea and ice, it is a symbol of strength, hardiness and, increasingly, climate change. 

• THIS COIN CELEBRATES THE TRUE NORTH: A gorgeous portrait of a mother and cub polar bear, a True North icon.
• A DOSE OF CANADIANA: This series is your dose of Canadiana in 2020 and it will add several iconic Canadian images to your collection.
• A UNIFORM LOOK: The curve text ("CANADA"), date ("2020") and maple flourish are the unifying features of this series. You'll find them on the reverse of all six coins, where they complete our 2020 celebration of Canada.
• 99.99% PURE SILVER! 
• No GST/HST and a limited worldwide mintage.
