Interesting fact

The Starfish Lily (Nerine bowdenii) is a rare and endangered species of lily that is endemic to South Africa, and is the inspiration behind the colourized design on this non-circulating coin. The coin's design features a vibrant, colorful depiction of the Starfish Lily, which is not commonly found on coins. This makes the coin a unique and interesting collector's item for those interested in botany, conservation, and numismatics.
