Marine
Life Protection is one of the longest running commemorative coin series
in the world. With the first coins issued in 1992, the series has seen
over 50 releases to date featuring tropical marine creatures and exotic
mermaid designs that changed each year. The penultimate issues, before
the series winds up in 2017, feature the Coral Hind.This
small grouper grows to 50 centimetres and is a common reef dweller in
the Indo-Pacific. The beautifully coloured grouper is portrayed against
a delicate gorgonian coral inhabited by a seahorse, squirrel fish and
butterfly fish.
For the first time in the series, the silver coin uses smartminting to attain unparalleled relief height on the obverse and reverse designs.
