Comment

The King Penguin is the second-largest penguin species in the world with an overall population estimated at 2.2 million breeding pairs. Unlike other species of penguins, the King Penguin does not make nests for their eggs; instead, they carry their egg around with them at all times on top of their feet.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design of the King Penguin, which is not commonly found on coins. The coin's design showcases the penguin's distinctive black and white feathers, and its regal stance gives the coin a sense of majesty. The coin's design is so detailed that you can even see the individual feathers on the penguin's body. This makes the coin a standout among other coins and a must-have for collectors who appreciate unique and beautiful designs.
