Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the "Ina and the Shark" coin is that it features a unique design that showcases a shark surrounding Queen Elizabeth II, symbolizing the monarch's role as the "protector" of the ocean and its inhabitants. The coin's design is the work of artist and marine biologist, Inna Vishik, who is known for her depictions of marine life. The coin's gold composition and limited mintage of 1,000 pieces also make it a highly sought-after collector's item.
