The 2020 edition is a 2 oz.-sized tribute to the 1980 Arctic Territories Centennial silver dollar coin; selective gold plating highlights its historic effigy and its polar bear reverse, which symbolizes and celebrates the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
Higher purity level: This 2 oz. coin is crafted from 99.99% pure silver – a higher purity level than the original coin issued in 1980.
The year 2020 marks the 140th anniversary of the transfer of the Arctic Islands from Great Britain to the Dominion of Canada. This commemorative piece highlights the anniversary by revisiting the 1980 centennial.
Low mintage: Mintage is set to 2,500 coins.
