Interesting fact
The Humpback Whale coin from the British Virgin Islands features a unique design that showcases the majesty of these gentle giants. Did you know that Humpback Whales can grow up to 60 feet in length and weigh over 50 tons? That's longer than a school bus and heavier than 10 elephants! Despite their massive size, they are known for their acrobatic displays, often breaching the water's surface and slapping their fins in a spectacular show. The coin's design captures the beauty and grace of these incredible creatures, making it a truly special collector's item.
