| Additional information |
Canada's silver Polar Bear bullion series has run in various iterations since the 1980s, but the .9999 fineness standard applied to this issue reflects a refining benchmark the Royal Canadian Mint achieved and began marketing aggressively against competitors — particularly the Perth Mint and the U.S. Mint — in the early 2000s. The four-nines purity designation is not incidental; it became a deliberate commercial differentiator for the RCM in the global bullion market.
