Comment
The fish on this coin does not appear to be an Emperor Fish. It may be intended to be an Emperor Angel Fish, but it isn't a great match for that species either.Interesting fact
The 5 Francs (Emperor fish) coin from the Democratic Republic of the Congo features a unique design of an Emperor fish, a species found in the country's waters.
