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 detailed and realistic depiction of its shell and flippers. Additionally, the coin is made of .999 silver, which adds to its value and collectibility.
