Continuing the narrative established on the first (2022) Premium Bullion in special packaging, the 2024 edition features a tender scene of a polar bear and her almost independent cub nuzzling in their Arctic habitat. Each investment-grade coin has been crafted in 24-karat (99.99% pure) gold with a minimum guaranteed weight (1/10 oz.), and First Strikes hold the distinction of having been struck on the first day of production, all of them bearing the Canadian effigy of His Majesty King Charles III on the obverse. Mintage of 1,000. HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
The reverse design by Canadian artist W. Allan Hancock shows a polar bear (Ursus maritimus) mother and her almost independent cub nuzzling in their Arctic habitat. Paired with paw print markings that reflect the theme, the tender scene is set against radial lines that create a dramatic sunburst finish, while the coin’s purity and weight, the word “CANADA” and the year “2024” are all inscribed along the outer edge. The obverse features a sunburst finish behind the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
