Interesting fact

The African Elephant coin is part of a series of coins issued by the Italian Republic to raise awareness about endangered species. The coin features an image of an African Elephant, which is one of the most iconic and beloved animals in the world. However, the coin's design also includes a subtle detail that highlights the impact of human activities on the elephant's habitat. If you look closely, you'll notice that the elephant is standing in front of a faint outline of a city skyline, which symbolizes the encroachment of human settlements on the elephant's natural habitat. This thought-provoking design serves as a reminder of the need to protect and preserve the natural world for future generations.
