2025 Canada $5 First Strikes: The Majestic Polar Bears Premium Bullion Pure Gold (No Tax)

First Strikes: The first gold Majestic Polar Bear Premium Bullion coins struck for 2025

The Majestic Polar Bear is a Premium Bullion in Special Packaging product – an investment-grade collectible coin that puts the purest precious metals in your hands – and First Strikes hold the distinction of having been struck on the first day of production.
