Interesting fact

The 1984 Jamaican Atlantic blue marlin coin features a unique design that showcases the island nation's rich marine life. The coin's reverse side depicts a majestic Atlantic blue marlin, a species known for its impressive size and strength, swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. The coin's obverse side bears the likeness of Queen Elizabeth II, who was the monarch of Jamaica at the time of the coin's issuance. This coin is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and marine life enthusiasts, not only for its beautiful design but also for its limited mintage of only 25,000 pieces.
