Interesting fact
The Ichthyostega is a prehistoric fish that lived around 360 million years ago, and it's featured on the reverse side of this coin. It's an interesting choice for a coin design, as the Ichthyostega is considered a transitional fossil between fish and tetrapods (four-legged animals). This coin may be a unique way to learn about ancient species and the evolution of life on Earth.
