    The Spectacled Porpoise is a rarely seen member of the porpoise family and is
    believed to be found around the cool sub-Antarctic waters and has been seen off
    South Georgia in the Atlantic.  It is therefore appropriate that this amazing new coin
    is being issued on behalf of South Georgia & South Sandwich Islands.
    The species is easily distinguished from other porpoises by a characteristic dark
    ring around the eyes which is commonly surrounded by a further light ring giving the
    indication of spectacles giving the animals their name.  The Spectacled Porpoise has
    distinctive black and white markings – black above and white underneath – with a white
    stripe on the upper surface of the tail.  They are fast, active swimmers and normally avoid
    boats which is why so little is known about this particular species.  The total population
    is also unknown and therefore the species is listed as a Threatened Species.
    The coin itself features a beautiful Spectacled Porpoise in the foreground with a
    mother and her calf in the background.  The obverse of the coin features an
    effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS.
    The coins are struck to the highest quality with the precious metal versions
    being produced with a stunning ‘proof’ finish.  The design on each coin
    is in relief with a glorious mirror-finish background.
