| Reverse description | The brass centre presents a finely engraved standing polar bear in the foreground, depicted in profile with head raised, positioned atop an ice floe rendered in the copper-nickel ring. A large nuclear-powered icebreaker vessel is shown in the middle ground, sailing through open Arctic waters. The legend POLAR BEAR is inscribed along the upper arc of the outer copper-nickel ring in bold raised letters. Geographic coordinates N77°81' E104°24' are inscribed vertically along the left side of the outer ring, referencing a specific Arctic location. The bimetallic composition creates a striking visual contrast between the warm-toned brass centre and the silver-coloured outer ring. |

| Additional information |
There is no internationally recognized political entity called "Arctic Territories," and no such issuer appears in standard numismatic references for circulating coinage. These bimetallic pieces are almost certainly fantasy issues or privately licensed collector tokens produced for the souvenir market, a category that expanded sharply in the 2010s as private mints exploited wildlife imagery and Arctic branding to manufacture shelf-appeal novelties with no actual monetary authority behind them.
