The coin The Humpback Whale

Found in oceans and seas around the world, the humpback whale is a species of baleen whale and is one of the larger of the whale family, ranging from 39-52 feet in length and weighing around 36,000 kilograms. Humpbacks are the acrobats of the oceans and are known for breaching and slapping the water, althoug the reason behind these manoeurvers is unknown. They are the noisest and most imaginative whales when it comes to song, using long, varied, complex, eerie and beautiful sounds stretching across the widest range of frequencies used by whales.

Humpbacks travel in large groups and, when hunting, cooperate by blowing a wall of bubbles as they swim to the surface in a spiral path forcing their prey of krill, plankton and small fish to the surface of the water (known as bubble-net feeding) which ensures they whole pod each a large meal.

The design on this beautiful commemorative coin features an image of a beautiful Humpback Whale breaching the Antarctic waters with an iceberg in the background. The obverse of the coin features an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS.

Available in Uncirculated Cupro Nickel and Proof Sterling Silver, each precious metal coin has been struck four times to produce a glorious mirror finish background with the design sculpted in striking relief.
