2020 - $10 - 1/2 oz. Pure Silver Coin - O Canada! 6-coin Series - Polar Bears

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. The beauty of the Canadian Arctic shines on Coin #1.
