The 1/2 oz Silver Polar Bear Series at the Royal Canadian Mint is one of several wildlife-themed collections and represents one of the few fractional-ounce series of this kind. The polar bear, the world’s largest extant bear and largest extant land carnivore, is a native of the Arctic Circle and can be found within the Arctic Ocean, its associated landmasses, and surrounding seas and waterways.
All of these 2019 1/2 oz Silver Canadian Polar Bears are available to purchase individually or in bulk. Coins will ship individually in protective flips, unless you purchase multiples of 20 coins or multiples of 240 coins. Multiples of 20 are available in plastic tubes, while multiples of 240 coins are available in boxes that hold a total of 12 plastic tubes of 20 coins each.
On the obverse side of 2019 Silver Canadian Polar Bears is a right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This effigy is the first of Elizabeth II’s reign to lack a crown within the design, the second of her reign and second-ever monarch portrait from a Canadian artist, and is the fourth overall effigy of the Queen on Canadian coinage.
The reverse field of 2019 1/2 oz Silver Polar Bears features an image of the massive Ursus martimus. The polar bear is a sister species with the brown bear, and its cousin the Kodiak bear is the next-largest bear in the world.
