Comment
Second coin in the Southern Constellations five-coin seriesInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that represents the Grus constellation, also known as the Crane constellation, which is a group of stars that can be seen in the southern hemisphere. The coin's design showcases the Crane's distinctive shape, with its long neck and legs, and its wings spread out to the sides. This design is a nod to the rich history of astronomy and exploration in the British Antarctic Territory, where the coin was issued.
