COIN HIGHLIGHTS

Ships individually in protective packaging
Consisting of 2 oz of 999 Fine Silver
Obverse: Features an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Reverse: Features a Hawksbill Turtle with a stylized shell pattern swimming through the waters of the Pacific Ocean

This unusual coin is considered a Piedfort, meaning that it is twice the weight and twice the thickness of the 1 oz Turtle while retaining the same diameter.

The Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata bissa) is one of two main turtle species of the South Pacific. Although they have a wide distribution throughout the world's tropical regions, Hawksbill Turtles are considered critically endangered due to human fishing practices. They grow up to a metre in length and a weight of 80 kg, although the heaviest on record weighed 127 kg.

The reverse features a Hawksbill Turtle with a stylized shell pattern swimming through the waters of the Pacific Ocean along with an engraved heading and the coin's metal quality and weight.
