The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) is brought to life in a magnificent Inuit art style on this 0.5 gram pure gold coin. A small yet prolific hunter and scavenger, scarcely larger than a housecat, the arctic fox is known for its beautiful fur that changes with the seasons. In the summer, a short and thin brownish coat allows it to blend in with the landscape; in the winter, its thick, snow-white fur insulates most of its body from the icy Arctic temperatures as it hunts over land and sea ice.
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.
