Comment
Provence is a geographical region and historical province of southeastern France, which extends from the left bank of the lower Rhône River to the west to the Italian border to the east, and is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The largest city of the region is Marseille.The Garrigue is the typical landscape of Provence; it is a type of low, soft-leaved scrubland or chaparral found on limestone soils around the Mediterranean Basin, generally near the seacoast, where the climate is moderate, but where there are annual summer drought conditions. Juniper and stunted holm oaks are the typical trees; aromatic lime-tolerant shrubs such as lavender, sage, rosemary, wild thyme and Artemisia are common garrigue plants. The open landscape of the garrigue is punctuated by dense thickets of Kermes oak.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of a traditional Polynesian canoe on the other. The canoe is adorned with intricate carvings and sails, highlighting the rich cultural heritage of the Solomon Islands. This design is a nod to the country's history and its connection to the Pacific region.
