FIRST COIN IN NEW SERIES! A touching take on the Arctic’s top predator! Order today!
Northern Canada is home to nearly two-thirds of the world’s polar bear population. This Arctic titan lives a largely solitary life, but it isn’t territorial—it is often seen playing with other polar bears or even cuddling together for a nap.Much like us, the world’s largest land carnivore uses sound and body language to communicate,whether it’s a playful raised stance, an aggressive lowering of the head, or the endless sniffing of a very curious bear.
An ideal gift for someone who enjoys polar bears and nature! Order today!

In the sky, a colourful sunset is reflected on the open water below, where an iceberg adds a cool turquoise hue. The reverse includes the year “2019” and the word “CANADA”, both struck incuse. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
