The Southern Rockhopper Penguin coin is the latest issue from Tower Mint featuring wildlife motifs, released for the Falkland Islands to commemorate the extraordinary and surprisingly diverse natural heritage of one of the most remote and fascinating territories in the South Atlantic. This 0,5 g coin is struck from 999-fine gold in a limited mintage of 1,000 pieces.
The rockhopper penguins depicted on the coin are creatures that inhabit the cold, windswept sub-Antarctic region, nesting in dense, boisterous colonies on the rocky cliffs and boulder-strewn coasts of islands including the Falklands, Tristan da Cunha, and the Antipodes, where the harsh conditions—which would deter most wild animals—suit them perfectly. The fact that they prefer steep, wave-lashed terrain to flat beaches attests both to their remarkable agility on land and to their apparent indifference to conditions that would pose a challenge to much larger animals.
