The Royal Canadian Mint started the Face Value Collector series in 2011 to provide a way for Canadians and others who were interested to get involved in coin collecting. Face values in the series ranged from $20 to $200. The 2012 1/4 oz Canadian $20 Polar Bear Silver Coin was minted during the second year of the now-closed program.
The coin ships in a protective plastic flip or a plastic capsule to ensure the condition isn’t damaged during transport. This coin has a noncirculating face value, which means that it can be returned to the Royal Canadian Mint for the $20 face value but it can’t be used as legal tender in a store. Banks also do not have to honor the face value, though they can choose to do so.
The obverse of this coin includes a portrait of Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. Unlike many nations that present the queen’s image on their coins, Canada does not tend to use effigies created by programs under the British Royal Mint. The image created by Blunt has been used on all circulated Canadian coins and many commemorative coins, making it one of the most used designs on Canadian money. The image of Her Majesty is surrounded by a raised border and inscriptions that spell out her name as well as the phrase D G Regina. That is short for the Latin Dei Gratia Regina, which means By the Grace of God, Queen.
The reverse of this 2012 Canadian $20 Polar Bear Silver Coin depicts a polar bear swimming on the surface of the ocean. The legs of the bear are bordered by inscriptions that detail the face value, country, and date of the coin. Polar bears are a popular image in a variety of collectible circuits, due in part to the plight of the polar bears, who are classified as vulnerable or threatened. Polar bears can swim for hours, sometimes reaching speeds of 6 miles per hour when doing so.
