As of 2023, it possesses the highest monetary value of any circulating Canadian coin. The toonie is a bi-metallic coin which on the reverse side bears an image of a polar bear by artist Brent Townsend. The obverse, like all other current Canadian circulation coins, has a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

Often, these coins were minted with silver at the highest purity available, but those responsible for minting them soon realised they needed to be slightly less than pure (92.5 per cent to be precise), to ensure they could withstand regular wear and tear. The remaining 7.5 per cent was often filled in with copper.

Reverse Description: The reverse of the Alaska quarter features a grizzly bear emerging from the waters clutching a salmon in its jaw. The coin's design includes the North Star.

US dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars were minted in 90% silver until 1964. Produced to save nickel for the war effort, war nickels 1942-1945 are 35% silver (silver nickel production started part way into 1942). Half-dollar coins minted between 1965 and 1970 are 40% silver, but from 1971 on, contain no silver.

While silver is rarely used for currency today, silver coins are still created as collectors' items and investment pieces. Mints all over the world use fine silver to create highly valuable coins that are considered works of art and important investment pieces.

Silver bullion coins are used as an investment option for anyone looking to diversify their wealth and investment portfolio and hedge against inflation. Because silver is not connected to traditional assets like stocks and bonds, prices are not adversely affected in the same way by market downturns.

One of the main reasons silver bars are cheaper than silver coins is that they are produced by private mints and refineries, which have lower overhead costs than government mints. Government mints have to cover the cost of producing and distributing coins, as well as the cost of designing and minting them.
