Reverse
Each coin’s reverse is based on a design by Canadian artist Glen Loates and features a full-body portrait of a polar bear (Ursus maritimus) in its natural Arctic environment. The polar bear has its head turned to the side while standing atop a small rise in an ice field; the scene is depicted against vivid radial lines to create a dramatic sunburst finish. The reverse includes a “paw print” privy mark, the coin’s purity and weight, the word “CANADA” and the year “2022”.

DID YOU KNOW?
Canada is home to roughly 15,000 polar bears, or about 2/3 of the world’s total population. Polar bears inhabit the northern regions of several provinces, but most of the population is found in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories.

Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features a unique design element: a polar bear's silhouette, created by a laser engraving technique that gives the appearance of a frosted finish. This technique adds a touch of realism to the coin's design, making the polar bear stand out against the mirror-like background. This feature not only adds visual interest but also serves as a symbol of Canada's commitment to preserving the Arctic environment and its iconic wildlife.
