Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of a humpback whale, which is not commonly seen on coins. The design was created to highlight the importance of conservation efforts and to raise awareness about the protection of marine life. The coin's design also includes the inscription "South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands" and the year "2006" to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the discovery of the South Sandwich Islands.
