Exotic Butterflies
Exotic Butterflies is an aptly named collection showcasing the beauty and elegance of the worlds butterflies with fascinating, brilliantly coloured 3D wings. It appears as though a real butterfly could lift off the coin at any moment to drift away.
The enchanting coins have been issued annually since 2011 for a different nation and portray a butterfly species native to that particular region. Starting with the 2016 release, the coins are minted with smartminting© relief.
The final issue of the series was issued by Mongolia and revealed at the Berlin World Money Fair in 2017.
