Comment

The incomparable «Exotic Butterflies» coins have enchanted collectors since 2011. The seventh and final issue of the series, issued by a different nation each year, concludes in Mongolia.

While butterflies of temperate regions cannot compete with the colors of their tropical relatives, the structure and delicate nature of the northern species is equally captivating. The Black-veined White is a common butterfly found from Europe across Asia and Mongolia all the way to Japan.

The graceful butterfly is once again perched atop a green flower in exquisite 3D technology seemingly ready to flutter away to join his relatives of the seven-coin Exotic Butterflies collection that presents a charming, colourful and joyful set without equal.
