Description
This 2013 $25 pure silver one ounce coin captures the relationship between a polar bear mother and her cubs. This coin is the second in our new 1 oz fine silver O Canada series, which focuses on iconic Canadian images. Mintage is limited 8,500 coins. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
The design features a beautiful image of a mother polar bear playing with her two young cubs on a frozen Arctic hillside. The massive mother sits patiently on her hindquarters in a snowdrift as one cavorting cub, standing on its hind legs, paws at her left arm. She turns to her cub, the two almost nose-to-nose. In front of her, the other cub, viewed from its left side, stands on all fours surveying its frozen home. Above the bears and to the right side of the image rises a large snowdrift topped by two snow-covered trees.
The reverse also features a stylized polar bear paw print and the engraved word 'CANADA,' the date '2013,' and the face value of '25 DOLLARS.' The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
