With this beautiful coin from Niue, it's turtle time. Let's take a close look at this oceanic fellow!

Obverse
The front shows a beautiful turtle diving underwater. The most beautiful part of the coin is it's shell with a very intricate swirly pattern. Around the turtle are multiple bubbles. In the left part of the coin the name of the animal is embossed on a mirror finish surface. Sadly this ocean theme doesn't continue on the back, as it's only good old Elizabeth II.

Conclusion
The whole motive looks actually quite interesting. I've been thinking for a while to get one of the larger turtle coins from Niue. It's just a lovely design. Don't you think so too?
Turtlez! And Elly cuddling the turtle coin :)
