The portrait of Her Majesty Elizabeth II is represented on the obverse of the silver proof coin. Along the rim of the coin, there are the inscriptions indicating the Queen’s name and the Latin title meaning By the Grace of God, Queen.

These toothed black and white animals, often referred to as killer whales and wolves of the sea, hunt everything from fish to walruses, seals, penguins, squid, sea turtles, sharks and even other kinds of whales making up to 500 pounds of food a day.
