The coin was designed by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc, your silver coin captures this remarkable mammal as it perches patiently on the edge of an Arctic ice floe, waiting for the exact moment to strike and seize its prey. Crafted with meticulous attention to quality, much detail is revealed in the engraved raised relief depicting the bear’s fur coat and water’s edge. Framing the reverse image is an outer band featuring the word “CANADA,” the date “2013,” and the face value of “10 DOLLARS,” as well as a small stylized polar bear paw print symbol.
