Endangered Animal Species: Giant Panda, Niue, 2014, 17.5g

Description

The Mint of Poland presents the 4th coin of the series dedicated to the species which are under the risk of going extinct.

The “Giant Panda” coin is an essence of the modern approach to contemporary mint art. It perfectly combines a meaningful theme, innovative technologies and an outstanding design.

What focuses attention is its out-of-ordinary packaging, presenting outlines of animals that are the themes in the series with an emphasized silhouette of a giant panda, designed specifically to house this coin.

The coin with a multi-coloured, natural image of a panda made to remind us about the fragility of nature and the greatest care that we should give to endangered animal species, will be a desirable item in any collection.
