| Beschrijving keerzijde | At centre, within the 22-karat gold inner disc, a polar bear accompanied by her cubs is depicted in high relief, resting on a rocky surface rendered in fine naturalistic detail. The bimetallic composition is clearly delineated between the gold centre and the outer ring. The upper arc of the outer ring bears the bilingual legend KNOWLEDGE and LE SAVOIR flanking the date 2000, while CANADA appears prominently in the lower arc of the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The standard "toonie" introduced in 1996 uses an aluminum bronze center in a nickel ring — this gold version was produced as a collector variant, not for circulation. The RCM has issued bimetallic gold pieces in limited quantities tied to millennial commemorative programs, and KM#399b sits in that narrow window of late-1990s prestige issues where the mint was experimenting aggressively with precious-metal adaptations of circulating designs.
The dual-gold construction — two distinct alloys differentiated by karat rather than metal type — is an unusual technical approach that required separate planchet sourcing for center and ring.
