Interesting fact
The Hawksbill Turtle coin from Niue is a unique and interesting collector's item, as it features a hawksbill turtle, a species that is native to the Pacific Ocean and is considered endangered due to habitat loss and hunting for its shell. The coin's design showcases the turtle swimming in the ocean, with a stylized wave pattern in the background. Additionally, the coin's obverse side features an effigy of King Charles III, who has been a prominent advocate for environmental conservation and sustainability. The coin's silver content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collectible for numismatists and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
