About
The intricate details of Canada’s mighty polar bear shines bright in this new low mintage premium bullion coin in special packaging. Own one of the first Majestic Polar Bear coins struck.
Valued for their appeal and beauty, silver and gold coins represent an exciting collecting opportunity—especially those crafted with the world’s purest precious metals.
The Majestic Polar Bear is the first in a new line of Premium Bullion coins in special packaging that are produced with a guaranteed weight and “four nines” (99.99%) purity, and issued in an easy-to-collect format. This uncirculated bullion coin is a beautiful keepsake that has been designed for collectors and precious metal buyers alike, but the First Strikes edition brings an added dimension of exclusivity: it was struck during the first day of production.
Packaged in a premium card holder, each Majestic Polar Bear includes two extraordinary features: a “paw print” privy mark and vivid radial lines, a new sunburst finish that adds amazing visual energy to an already inspiring portrait.
Make room in your collection for an Arctic icon.
