1 oz Gold Spirit Bear Sprott Round

The Spirit Bear 1 oz Gold Sprott Round marks our first gold issue in the Canadian Heritage line. Struck in .9999 fine gold, it pays tribute to the rare white Spirit Bear of British Columbia, a bear believed to number only in the low hundreds and seldom seen in the wild.

Background

Among local First Nations, the Spirit Bear is called moksgm’ol ("white bear") and is regarded as sacred, a living emblem of peace, harmony, and balance between land and people. In the 19th century, Indigenous communities deliberately concealed its existence to protect the animal from fur traders. The region is now protected, which safeguards both the bear and its cultural legacy.
