"Limited to 8,500 and struck in 99.99% pure silver to proof quality, the polished gemstone adds extra interest to Canadians as it was mined in British Columbia, one of the world's top jade producers. 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"

The weight is 31.39 or one ounce, I wonder how much of the coin is jade?

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

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.

I keep wondering if these "jade" that RCM uses are real or artificial...

"The jade insert on this coin's reverse features Canadian nephrite jade that was mined in British Columbia, and is prized for its resilience and mirror-like finish once polished"
Info from the mint, real Canadian jade
that's cool

It would seem that only the adult bear drank the Kool-Aid.
