Comment

Rafflesia is the largest single flower of all plants, which can reach up to 100cm in diameter. They are parasitic plants that grow in the South-East Asian tropics. It is also interesting to know that the flowers exude the smell of rotting meat, which attracts insects for pollination.

Interesting fact

The Rafflesia is a species of flowering plant that is native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia, and is known for producing the largest single flower in the world, with some species producing flowers up to 3 feet in diameter! The coin's design features an image of the Rafflesia flower, highlighting its unique and striking appearance.
