Bull and Bear 2025 2 oz $10 Silver BU Coin – Royal Canadian Mint
The terms “bear” and “bull” have become deeply ingrained in financial terminology, with their origins often traced back to the different ways these animals attack their prey. A bull thrusts its horns upward when attacking, symbolizing rising markets, while a bear swipes its paws downward, representing falling prices.

The obverse features King Charles III.
On the reverse are a bear and bull.
These animal metaphors gained prominence in 18th-century London, particularly through the practice of “bearskin jobbers” who would sell bearskins before actually buying them from trappers, hoping prices would fall – an early form of short selling. The behavioral characteristics of these animals have also influenced their market symbolism.
The obverse of the 2025 Canadian Silver Bull and Bear Coin comes with the first-generation effigy of King Charles III. Steven Rosati created this bust of His Majesty for the Royal Canadian Mint, becoming just the third Canadian artist to develop a monarch portrait for Canadian coinage and the first to create a portrait of Charles III.
On the reverse of 2025 2 oz Silver Bull and Bear Coins are the images of the raging bull and the mighty bear. Bulls are known for their aggressive, charging nature, reflecting the confident optimism of rising markets where investors aggressively buy stocks expecting higher returns. Bears, conversely, are associated with hibernation and defensive behavior, mirroring the cautious, pessimistic sentiment during market downturns when investors retreat and protect their assets.
