About
First Strikes: The first Majestic Polar Bears struck in 2024.
Continuing the narrative established on the first (2022) Premium Bullion in special packaging, the 2024 edition features a tender scene of a polar bear and her almost independent cub nuzzling in their Arctic habitat. Each investment-grade coin has been crafted in 99.99% pure silver with a minimum guaranteed weight of one ounce, and First Strikes hold the distinction of having been struck on the first day of production, all of them bearing the Canadian effigy of His Majesty King Charles III on the obverse.
Direct from the Royal Canadian Mint: Premium Bullion puts the purest precious metals in your hands.
