World Wildlife Fund WWF Turks & Caicos Rock Iguana 1988 One Proof Silver Crown

$69.99

I just think they’re having fun. This world coin from the Turks and Caicos honoring the world wildlife fund’s 25th anniversary has a very striking image of an Iguana on the reverse, but I can’t get over the Elmo-like quality of this particular rendering. I am impressed by the level of detail the designers and Mint succeeded in imparting to it, including scales and veins. If you are a world coin collector or have an affinity for Iguanas then pick this one up and add it to your world coin collection.

Ghana Leatherback Sea Turtle 2003 500 Sika-Proof Silver Crown

$69.99

The leatherback is the largest living turtle and is so distinctive that it is placed in its own separate family, Dermochelys. All other sea turtles have bony hard plates on their shells (carapace). The leatherback’s carapace is slightly flexible and has a rubbery texture. No sharp angle is formed between the carapace and the under-belly (plastron) so a leatherback is somewhat barrel-shaped. Many can grow to be bigger than one too. The front flippers of a leatherback are longer than in the other marine turtles, even when you take the leatherback’s size into account. They can reach 8 feet cm in adult leatherbacks. The largest leatherback on record was a male stranded on the West Coast of Wales in 1988. He weighed two thousand pounds. In 1982, it was estimated that 115,000 adult female leatherbacks existed worldwide and that roughly half of them probably were nesting in western Mexico. In recent years, however, the number of nesting leatherbacks has been in an alarming decline. This coin comes with a mint issued Certificate of Authenticity.

Democratic Republic Of Congo Prism Loggerhead Sea Turtle 2003 5 Franc Crown BU

$39.99

While dolphins, penguins, and a number of other sea mammals practice porpoising (a behavior to increase locomotion by “leaping” from the water) I’ve never heard of turtles doing this, but this loggerhead seems to be styled in just such an act. Go figure. At least this world coin’s design does a good job at showing us a startlingly good image of a sea turtle rendered in a Prism applique on this brilliant proof-like world coin. If you are a collector of animal or sea life world coins then this is one add to your world coin collection.
