Arctic Animals and Northern Lights - Polar bear

Every year, people travel to Canada’s northernmost extremes in the hopes of viewing polar bears and the ethereal glow of the aurora borealis, but with this spectacular glow-in-the-dark coin, people can experience both of these treasures whenever they want!

Canadian artist Trevor Tennant has created an immersive design that takes the viewer within feet of a polar bear navigating the sea ice. Exceptional detail and beautifully executed colour capture the subtleties in the bear’s thick coat, and the warm glow of the setting sun that fills the Arctic sky and mirror-like openings in the sea ice. When the coin is exposed to black light, a different scene appears. Day turns to night as the sun sets behind the horizon, and northern lights fill the sky with a ribbon of glowing red, yellow and green.

This coin is the first issues of the Arctic Animals and Northern lights series.
