Sea Creatures: Chagos Anemone - 2021 Unc. Cupro Nickel Diamond Finish Coloured 50p Coin - BIOT

Pobjoy Mint is delighted to announce a beautiful new series of 50p coins featuring Sea Creatures which is being issued on behalf of the British Indian Ocean Territory.   

The British Indian Ocean Territory comprises the 50 islands of the Chagos Archipelago which is only a total area of 44 square kilometres but the territorial seas cover over 60,000 square kilometres containing coral reefs which comprise over 10% of Indian Ocean reef cover and the cleanest seawater ever recorded.  This means that the waters around Chagos are a vital natural laboratory for scientists to learn how a healthy reef lives and to study the diverse wildlife who live in or visit these waters as breeding and feeding grounds.  This exciting new collection features some of these attractive and colourful creatures and begins with the Chagos Anemone fish – probably one of the most recognisable in the world.

The coin is available in Cupro Nickel Diamond Finish with the Chagos Anemone portrayed in full colour really bringing this recognisable clownfish to life.  A special colour album, which is sold separately, has been designed to house all six coins of the collection.  The coin is also available in coloured Proof Sterling Silver.

**Don't forget to get your album with the official certification for this coin. No individual certificate is available.**
