Comment
This is the coloured 'diamond finish' numismatic product (mintage of 7,500) of the five penguin carollers, also available as a silver piedfort coin (mintage of 2000) and a standard cupro-nickel coin, it is perhaps something of an anomaly that this standard version is the rarest of all, with an issue limit of just 950. The coin was only offered by Pobjoy Mint.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique colorized design of penguins caroling, which is not commonly seen on coins. The colorized design adds an extra layer of beauty and collectibility to the coin, making it stand out from other coins in the series.
