1 oz Gold Spirit Bear Sprott Round

The Spirit Bear 1 oz Gold Sprott Round is our first gold release, struck in .9999 fine gold and created in honour of the rare Canadian Spirit Bear, a white bear found only in British Columbia and believed to number between 50 and 500 in the wild. This round joins our Canadian Heritage Sprott series and highlights a creature that is rarely seen and deeply rooted in Canadian wilderness.

Background

Within local First Nations communities, the Spirit Bear is known as moksgm’ol (“white bear”) and regarded as sacred, a symbol of peace, harmony, and balance. For generations in the 19th century, Indigenous peoples kept its existence secret to shield the bear’s coat from fur traders. Today, the region is protected and the bears along with it, preserving an animal that carries both cultural significance and natural rarity.
