It is only the second coin from the Mint to feature the stone. The first was last year's 2014 $20 Majestic Maple Leaves Silver Coin" http://www.coinnews.net/2015/05/22/...nadian-jade/ * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Lostwords Pillar of the Community Canada 1528 Posts	Posted 05/29/2015 2:39 pm I think when they put the weight, it is only stating the weight of silver content of the coin and not the actual weight of the coin Report this Post to the Staff
Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6768 Posts	Posted 05/29/2015 2:40 pm I would propose to RCM to strike "normal" Proof Polar Bear on this coin, and strike 3 more coins with different designs as Fractional set. Will be good one. And in current appearance, imo, not attractive. Report this Post to the Staff
