2017 Polar Babies - Harp Seal 1/2oz Silver Proof Coin
The next coin in the charming Polar Babies series features the cute harp seal.
Harp seal pups are famous for their bright, snowy white coats which help them to blend into their surroundings, hiding them from predators and keeping them warm at the same time. When the pups reach three weeks of age, their fluffy white coat starts to moult, revealing a darker, silvery grey coloured fur.
