The first coin features the Elephant, the largest of all land mammals. These amazing creatures can live up to 70 years in the wild and when you consider they spend up to 16 hours a day eating, it is easy to see why they are so large. Elephants are very communicative and sociable using a wide range of sounds to talk to each other, some of which can be heard six miles away. These mammals are calm as long as you leave them alone and it is best not to annoy them as 12,000lbs of weight hurtling towards you at quite a speed would be a terrifying sight. The Elephant is probably best known for its amazing trunk which contains 40,000 muscles and is used to sense the size, shape and temperature of the object it touches.
