This unique sterling silver gold plated collectable coin displays a stylized portrait of the Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) on an ice floe with the sun and broken sea ice reflected in the sky as the background. The polar bear is the largest terrestrial carnivore on earth. The sea ice is now changing, forcing the polar bear to adapt with unprecedented speed. This coin highlights the power and magnificence of an animal that was long regarded as untouchable but is now under threat from pollution and climate change. The polar bear is a wildlife treasure that commands every effort in conservation.
