The unusually intelligent Triggerfish is the first release in the exciting new Reef Fish coin collection struck in 1oz pure silver. A brightly coloured fish, it typically inhabits tropical and subtropical oceans.
The Triggerfish consist of 40 species of brightly coloured fish that typically inhabit tropical and subtropical oceans, particularly in the Indo-Pacific.
Oval-shaped and often marked with lines and spots, they can be found in relatively shallow, coastal habitats. Their anatomy reflects their diet of slow-moving, bottom dwelling creatures. The Triggerfish are unique in that they exhibit a level of intelligence that is unusual among fish and possess the ability to learn from previous experiences.
This coin artistically combines the exquisitely coloured Triggerfish amongst engraved coral in its native reef habitat. The design also incorporates an stunning ultra-gloss effect to give the Triggerfish a unique ‘wet’ look.
It is encased in an innovative perspex coin case, which frames the coin and allows for easy display. The packaging contains the uniquely numbered Certificate of Authenticity and the outer box has been designed to complement the reef theme.
