Following the incredible success of the Ocean Predator collection’s first release, the Great White , the next coin in the series is expected to sell out fast. One may not immediately connect the land-dwelling Polar Bear to the ocean, but all of this hypercarnivore ’s most common prey dwells in the ocean’s icy depths. Polar Bears primarily eat Ringed and Bearded Seals but also dine on walruses and whale carcasses. Although they sit firmly near the top of the food chain, this species has sadly fallen victim to commercial hunting and habitat loss and has been labeled as a “vulnerable” species by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). No need to travel to the Arctic to see this furry hunter in action — just add the new Polar Bear Coin to your collection!
The obverse displays the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing her royal crown and jewels. Her bust is surrounded by inscriptions including the coin’s unique serial number.
The reverse of the coin portrays an intimidating view of a Polar Bear in the midst of a hunt. It swims through the cold ocean water as its open jaw seemingly passes through the coin’s border!
