Comment
Pterois is a genus of venomous marine fish, commonly known as lionfish, native to the Indo-Pacific. Also called zebrafish, firefish, turkeyfish, tastyfish or butterfly-cod, it is characterized by conspicuous warning coloration with red, white, creamy, or black bands, showy pectoral fins and venomous spiky fin rays. Pterois radiata, Pterois volitans, and Pterois miles are the most commonly studied species in the genus. Pterois species are popular aquarium fish. P. volitans and P. miles are a recent and significant invasive species in the west Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and Mediterranean Sea.Interesting fact
The Lionfish coin is a unique and innovative design, as it features a 3D lionfish embossing on the reverse side, which gives the impression that the lionfish is swimming on the surface of the coin. This special design element was achieved through a combination of advanced minting techniques and careful craftsmanship, making it a standout feature of the coin.
