Gold Polar Bear & Cub Coin DetailsThis 2015 $10 pure gold coin depicts the polar bear and its small baby cub as they roam through their natural arctic habitat. This coin was struck in a quarter-ounce of 99.99% pure gold in a quality proof finish with mirror background, a technique that gives the fur of the polar bear a lifelike texture. It features a diameter of 20mm, and a low, limited mintage of 2,000 coins worldwide. Due to its limited mintage by the Royal Canadian Mint, the Gold Canadian Polar Bear & Cub 1/4-oz coin is highly sought after. | ||||||||||

| History | Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like). | ||||||||||
