Interesting fact
The Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) featured on the coin is an important pollinator species, responsible for pollinating around 75% of the world's crop species. In fact, it's estimated that without bees, many crops would not be able to reproduce, resulting in a significant decrease in food production and availability. This highlights the importance of protecting bee populations and their habitats, which is an increasingly pressing concern due to factors such as habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change.
