If Lepidoptera on coins is what you are seeking, at Black Mountain Coins we feature several types of butterfly coins. One of the more spectacular coins is the Mexican 100 Pesos coins issued in 1987 in conjunction with the World Wildlife Fund featuring the Monarch Butterfly. The island nations of Vanuatu and Palau have also issued legal tender multicolor butterfly coins and perhaps one of the most imaginative butterfly coins was the 1,000 Central African Francs coin issued in 2011 by the African nation of Cameroon, depicting a 3-D butterfly perched on the surface of the coin, ready to take of in flight.

Dem Republic Of Congo Prism Butterfly Set 2002 3 Five Franc Crowns BU

$99.99

I’ve tried to capture the beautiful gossamer wings of butterflies and dragonflies in illustrations before and I find it impossible to truly replicate them. Even in photography one can’t capture the flash of colors as they flutter about. Well, I was startled to see that the designer of these coins got it. The use of the Prism applique technique works perfectly to recreate that flitting, glinting impression we associate with these wonderful creatures in flight. I never would have expected it in a coin. If you’re a collector of world coins with a place in your collection for creatures of such gentle beauty then this set of 3 proof-like world coins with Prism applique butterflies is demanding a spot of prominence.
