Reverse

The selectively gold-plated reverse combines Brent Townsend's $1 circulation coin design with an expanded Arctic scene by Inuvialuk artist Karis Gruben; beneath the sun and sundogs in the sky, the polar bear from the two-dollar coin looks off into the distance while a female polar bear spots a seal in the water.

The Bigger Picture zooms in on Canada’s circulation coins and zooms out to reveal there’s a lot more story to discover! Like a coin within a coin, each circulation design is re-created on a larger 5 oz. fine silver piece that provides an extended canvas for the engraved-only art.

Pull back and see the bigger picture on these six coins.

Coin #1: Bluenose (priced at $599.95)
Coin #2: Beaver (priced at $599.95, expected ship date of March 2022)
Coin #3: Caribou (priced at $599.95, expected ship date of May 2022)

SPECIAL SUBSCRIPTION CASE! Coin #3 comes packaged in a gorgeous wooden display case that contains an insert for all six coins. The other 5 coins in the series are individually shipped in die-cut (clear plastic sleeve) that serve as temporary holders until the coins can be added to your display case.
5 OZ. OF PURE SILVER! Each of these coins is crafted from five ounces of the world’s finest silver (99.99% pure). That high silver content gives each coin a diameter of 65.25 mm and a metal weight of 157.6 g – the same as our popular Big Coin series – and that provides ample room for complex engraving and captivating designs.
GOLD PLATING ON COIN 5 AND 6! Selective gold plating adds a dazzling gleam to our finely engraved homage to the Loon and Polar Bear coins. It’s an upscale feature that mimics the look of the old-time favourite circulation coin designs.
LOW MINTAGE! An exciting collecting opportunity for those who love Canada’s circulation coins with a limited mintage. Only 1,300 coins are available worldwide.
INCLUDES SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE! The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
