{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}Polar bears live throughout Arctic coastal areas and pack ice zones in five countries: the United States (Alaska), Canada, Russia, Greenland (Denmark), and Norway (Svalbard). They move with the drifting sea ice and are most commonly found in Canadian areas like Hudson Bay and the Beaufort Sea. These powerful animals are often highlighted in Canadian coin releases, including an annual 1/10 oz gold coin with changing designs. Today, you can find 2018 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Polar Bear Coins at BGASC.
Highlights:
Each 2018 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Polar Bear Coin offered by BGASC is shipped in a protective plastic flip. These coins feature detailed radial lines across the obverse field and along the edge of the reverse, offering both security and a refined appearance.
Obverse
The obverse of the coin shows Queen Elizabeth II in right-profile, without a crown. This is the fourth and final Canadian portrait of Her Majesty and was introduced in 2003. It was designed by Canadian artist Susanna Blunt.
Reverse
The reverse displays a polar bear walking on a stretch of Arctic ice. These animals rely heavily on sea ice for hunting, especially for seals, and are highly affected by changes in ice coverage and climate conditions.
History
Polar bears separated from their brown bear ancestors between 400,000 and 600,000 years ago during the Pleistocene epoch. This relatively fast evolutionary shift happened when certain brown bears became trapped in colder environments during glacial periods. Over time, they changed to survive in Arctic conditions, becoming hunters of marine life and developing unique traits to live on sea ice.
