2014 Proof Fine Silver $50 Coin, Aboriginal Story: The Legend of the Spirit Bear.

This large $50 pure silver proof coin features The Legend of the Spirit Bear, a First Nations legend of how this bear came to be. A white Raven waves its wing to bring colour to the world. Below, retreating snow and ice reveal a new world brimming with life. Communities of earth mounds dot the land and people can now navigate rivers by canoe. British Columbia's mountains can be seen in the background and a bear totem appears before the sun. People gather around a fire, seemingly in preparation of war; a sight that inspires Raven to wave its wing once again to turn the great, humble bear white.

Spirit Bear is a black bear that has white fur due to a rare genetic trait. The greatest number of Spirit Bears are found in British Columbia on Princess Royal Island, where as many as one-tenth of the black bears born are white.

The coin contains just over five ounces of pure silver, and as a pure silver coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint, it is GST/HST Exempt.  With an extremely low mintage of just 1500 pieces, this is likely to be a scarce and highly sought after collectible.

The Legend of the Spirit Bear
When Raven first created the world, everything was white. After some time, Raven decided the world needed colour, but as the ice began to melt, people started fighting over the land that appeared. Years passed, more and more animals changed colour and the world became more beautiful than ever, but the people kept fighting over everything. So, Raven decided to remind them where they came from by turning one in every ten bears white.
