Comment
The blue doctorfish gets its name from bony projections on its tail that have a razor-sharp edge not unlike a surgeon’s scalpel. When a rival comes close, the striking yellow ‘scapel’ is extended as a threat to ward off attack, which can lead to nasty cuts being inflicted on the enemy should it fail to heed the warning.
Interesting fact
The Blue Doctorfish coin has a unique design featuring a stylized image of a doctorfish (also known as a Mediterranean rainbow wrasse) swimming in the water. The coin's obverse side features the coin's denomination, "3 EURO," and the year of issue, "2024," while the reverse side features the doctorfish design. The use of a non-circulating coin allows the designer to create a unique and collectible piece that stands out from regular circulating currency.
