The Royal Canadian Mint is one of a handful of mints around the globe that focuses on native wildlife for inspiration in its design elements. While the sugar maple leaf is a popular form of flora on Canadian coins, the polar bear is arguably the most popular species of fauna to feature on national bullion coins. In particular, the polar bear has proven popular on gold coins for sale from the RCM. Today, 2020 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Polar Bear Coins are available to you online from JM Bullion.

Polar bears are one of nature’s most beautiful creatures. A sister species to the brown bear, the polar bear has evolved over time to occupy a much narrower niche in the ecological order than its cousins. The massive polar bear has adapted physical features over thousands of years that are meant to make life above the Arctic Circle easier for the bear to cope with. In particular, polar bears have slight webbing in their paws to enable swimming. This is key to its survival given that seals are the primary source of protein in the polar bear’s diet.

All of these 2020 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Polar Bear Coins are available to purchase in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins are available individually inside of protective plastic flips, sealed sheets of 40, and monster boxes of 2,000. This series is offered annually by the Royal Canadian Mint, with the reverse designs capturing a different daily scene in a polar bear’s life.

On the obverse side of 2020 Canadian Gold Polar Bear Coins is a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. This portrait of the Queen was developed in 2003 by Susanna Blunt, the second Canadian artist to ever create a portrait of the monarch for national currency. This is the fourth-generation effigy of the Queen to grace Canadian coins and is the first during her reign to depict the Queen without a crown.

The reverse face of the 2020 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Polar Bear Coin comes with a new depiction of the polar bear. In this year’s design, the polar bear is shown standing on its hind legs as its front paws are perched upon an icy outcrop. Snow-covered hills stretch out in the background with frigid Arctic waters exposed in the middle ground.
