Comment
The Carolinian duck (Aix sponsa) or Wood duck is one of the two species of the genus Aix. It owes its name to Carolina, a state in the United States where the first specimens were captured.
Interesting fact
The Wood Ducklings coin is a unique and interesting piece because it features a family of wood ducks taking flight, with the mother duck leading the way and her ducklings following closely behind. The coin's design is engraved in a way that creates a 3D effect, giving the impression that the ducks are about to take off from the coin's surface. This coin is a beautiful representation of the natural world and is a must-have for any coin collector or nature enthusiast.
