Weight (g) - 31.39 (one troy ounce). Certificate - serialized (serial numbers will vary). Face value - 5 dollars (a legal tender Canadian coin).

The pelt of the Arctic fox is unmatched for warmth, sustaining it at temperatures below -50° Celsius.

Its fur is brown, grey-brown, blue-grey, or dark blue-grey in the warmer months. In the long Arctic winter, most of these remarkable animals turn pure white, although some populations show lighter blue-grey through the winter phase. The fox's thick fur covers its small rounded ears and even the pads of its feet, for optimum warmth. This coin is a premium numismatic version of the Royal Canadian Mint's 99.99% fine silver bullion coin, struck in proof finish with mirror-like background. A stunning addition to any collection featuring Canadian wildlife, images of nature, or fine silver.

" Unsearched" - All of the coins offered in this listing are "unsearched". Many coin dealers "search" all coins when they are received from the Mint. They "cherry-pick" the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins. Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed.

Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just "artist's conception" drawings from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting.

We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
