Animals often represent their native regions on coins around the world. They’re a welcome change from political leaders, government buildings and coats of arms! And they showcase the natural artistry of the animal kingdom! Wildlife coin designs are especially dramatic in full natural color. And color images of animals are seen more often on coins and paper money around the world. The U.S. Mint has yet to create color images of animals or other subjects on U.S. coins or paper money. But there is no shortage of these designs from foreign mints and treasuries!
There are five coins to this series. This is the second coin in the series.
