Interesting fact
The Common Frog design on the 10 Pence coin from Guernsey is a unique feature, as it is not a commonly seen image on currency. The decision to feature the frog on the coin was made to highlight the importance of conservation efforts and to bring attention to the declining frog population in the wild. By featuring the frog on the coin, the Guernsey government aimed to raise awareness about the need to protect these fascinating creatures and their habitats.
