The Arctic hare (Lepus arcticus), with its large eyes and sharp hearing for detecting predators, is captured in fine detail on this pure gold collectable coin. Its famously warm winter fur changes colours with the seasons, and their darkened ear tips have evolved to absorb heat from the Arctic sun. During the winter, Arctic hares are white, which helps them blend in with the snow. In the spring and summer, snowshoe hares turn a reddish-brown to help them camouflage with dirt and rocks.
The Predator vs. Prey collectable coin series reflects the interconnection between all living things: that every species, whether predator or prey, plays a role in the harmonious balance of nature.
All collectable coins have been previously owned. Conditions will vary.
