The Royal Mint- Designed by Canadian artist Claudio D'Angelo, your coin features a detailed side profile view of a polar bear (Ursus maritimus) against the landscape of the Canadian Arctic. Moving across the snow-covered ice and rocks, a polar bear extends its elongated neck to vocalize, while its gaze remains fixed on what lies beyond the coin's rim. Advanced finishing techniques enhance the precision engraving that captures the polar bear's likeness in stunning detail, from the texture of its dense fur to its facial features.
How many polar bear coins and other animal coins do we need? The way the mint is pumping out animals like the polar bear, the orca, the grizzly bear, the owl, the cougar, is way too much. Same themes, over and over. Pretty well sick of them.
I see these Caribou and Polar Bear, as the "best in their class" The last time I remember traditional Proof finish of these animals on 1oz silver coin in the 2013 O Canada set.
If someone starts to embed his/her own Animal set - these are good to start with.
And I will agree - no need to issue them so frequently.
