Renowned for its strength and its ability to thrive in a harsh climate, the polar bear (Ursus maritimus) has become one of the most recognized icons of the Canadian North. This fine silver collectable coin celebrates the polar bear and its Arctic habitat and features a carved jade embellishment. As North America’s largest land carnivore, polar bears are easily identified by their thick, white fur that keeps them warm as they hunt for seals along the sea ice. The jade embellishment is made using Canadian nephrite jade that was mined in British Columbia, and is prized for its resilience and mirror-like finish once polished.
