The polar bear, Canada's largest land predator and a symbol of the Arctic wilderness, is depicted in stunning detail against the brilliant crimson of the maple leaf — creating one of the most visually arresting colour coin designs the RCM has ever produced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      The 2003 colourized series was issued during the dual-effigy transition year, making these coins additionally interesting from a numismatic standpoint — 2003 saw both the older Dora de Pédery-Hunt portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and the new Susanna Blunt portrait introduced, adding variety appeal to date collectors. The vivid colour and iconic Canadian wildlife theme make this quarter consistently popular with collectors, gift buyers, and Canadian heritage enthusiasts alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cb\u003eObverse:\u003c\/b\u003e Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II (2003 transition year)\u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cb\u003eReverse:\u003c\/b\u003e Colourized Polar Bear on Maple Leaf design\u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cb\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/b\u003e 23.88 mm | \u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.4 g | \u003cb\u003eComposition:\u003c\/b\u003e Nickel-Plated Steel with colour\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Full vivid colour, no wear, no contact marks.
