Product Description

2017 25-CENT PURE GOLD COIN – PREDATOR VS.  PREY: INUIT ARCTIC HARE

One is the hunter—the other, the hunted. This four-coin series explores the predator and prey relationship of the Arctic fox and the Arctic hare in Canada’s far North, where the harsher climate necessitates unique adaptations that have set these two species apart. The fourth and final coin in this Predator vs. Prey series presents a portrait of the Arctic hare, re-interpreted as Inuit art.

DESIGN

The reverse design by Inuit artist Andrew Qappik re-interprets the traditional portrait of the Arctic hare (Lepus arcticus) and presents it in a magnificent Inuit art style. Detailed engraving brings this artistic interpretation to life, in a way that showcases the beauty of the prey’s profile and its facial features as it faces left, towards its predator.
