Two beluga whales swim alongside a bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus). 1 whale, 1 Umiak with Inuit hunters followed by three kayaks along the rim. Regarding the coins where the bowhead whale is frosted, there are two sub-varieties: on one, the fin tip that sticks out under the belly is frosted, while on the other one it is not.
