World's Wildlife - The Whale, Coin Set from Congo, Democratic Republic of the - detailed information

This second issue in the annual World's Wildlife Series is dedicated to the Blue Whale, and contains four gold proof coins with different designs and in sizes ranging from one ounce to one tenth of an ounce. The smaller coins were only issued in this set, and not individually. There are two more sizes in the gold series - a five-ounce coin and a half-gram coin, as well as a silver ounce, which are not included.

The biggest representative of its type is the blue whale. With a weight of 200 tons and a length of up to 33 meters, the blue whale is the largest animal of the world. The jumps and the clapping with the back create a loud bounce. The animals use these noises to communicate with each other over large distances.
