Interesting fact

The Giant Pangolin is a unique and fascinating animal, and this coin features a detailed design of the creature. Did you know that the Giant Pangolin is the largest of all pangolin species, reaching up to 1.5 meters in length and weighing up to 30 kilograms? That's impressive! Additionally, pangolins are also known as "scaly anteaters" due to their unique body armor, which is made up of tough, overlapping scales. These amazing animals are sadly endangered due to illegal hunting for their meat and scales, which are believed to have medicinal properties in some cultures. It's important to raise awareness about the plight of the Giant Pangolin and other endangered species, and this coin serves as a beautiful reminder of the importance of conservation efforts.
