2004 $2 Coin & Stamp Set -
Polar Bear
The King of the North, the proud polar bear
reigns over the ice-packed Canadian Arctic. The largest bear on earth,
this titan of the tundra can reach heights of up to 2 m and can weigh more
than 800 kg. In spite of its immense size, the polar bear is extremely
agile and can sprint 40 km/h on land allowing it to catch swift prey such
as foxes, lemmings and birds.
A collaboration between The Royal Canadian Mint and
Canada Post has produced the extraordinary $2 Proud
Polar Bear Stamp and Coin Set. This unique set showcases
one$2 proof coin struck in sterling silver, and two $2
stamps, one cancelled and one mint.
