Highlights:
Each 2025 1/2 Gram Pitcairn Islands Gold Ocean Wonders Whale Coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and secured inside an acrylic capsule. This coin is the smallest in the collection, which also includes two other BU gold coins and two colorized proof editions.
Obverse
On the obverse of the coin is a left-profile image of King Charles III. This uncrowned effigy is from the first official portrait series of His Majesty and was designed by Glyn Davies.
Reverse
The reverse of the coin depicts a blue whale gliding through Pacific waters. Blue whales are found in oceans worldwide, usually living in deep waters and traveling long distances each year to reach feeding and breeding locations.
History
The Pitcairn Islands sit along a South Pacific migration corridor used by blue whales as they move between the Southern Ocean and tropical waters of the Pacific. While not a main feeding or breeding area, these waters play a role in their seasonal journeys. The islands marine protected areas help conserve this habitat for whales and other large marine species passing through.
