A symbol of the power and vastness of our nation's northern landscape, the polar bear is king of the Canadian Arctic.

Your coin showcases the beauty of the polar bear and its icy Arctic surroundings. An ideal coin for new fine silver collectors or gift for people who enjoy all things Canadian!

¥ This is the fourth coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's exciting O Canada 1/2 oz silver coin series.
¥ Engraved in exquisite detail to celebrate one of Canada's most important national icons.
¥ Rendered in fine silver (99.99% pure).
Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc, your silver coin captures this remarkable mammal as it perches patiently on the edge of an Arctic ice floe, waiting for the exact moment to strike andseize its prey. Crafted with meticulous attention to quality, much detail is revealed in the engraved raised relief depicting the bear's fur coat and water's edge.
The reverse also features a stylized polar bear paw print and the engraved word "CANADA," the date "2013" and the face value of "10 DOLLARS."
