The Polar Bear is on the toonie because of its unique beauty. It lives in northern Canada and is a true symbol of that part of our country. The Polar bear also symbolizes our country because of their true strength and determination.

Alaska's coinage is the same as in the lower 48 states and in Hawaii. Canada is the nation that has a bear on the twoonie coin--a polar bear, to be exact. Why the polar bear was chosen to be on that coin instead of other symbols or animals--like the moose, for instance--was likely because the bear signifies strength as part of the Canadian national anthem, "...strong and free."
