Bi-Color Green and Blue Titanium Coin Features the Parrotfish
We are thrilled to announce the release of a brand new bi-color titanium coin on behalf of the
British Indian Ocean Territory featuring the colorful
parrotfish.
The coin features three parrotfish amongst the corals in tropical waters highlighted in green titanium within a blue titanium background.
The Parrotfish can be found in relatively shallow tropical and subtropical oceans with the group displaying the largest species richness in the
Indo-Pacific. The arrangement of their teeth is highly unusual – arranged on the external surface of their jawbones forming a parrot-like beak that gives them their name. This is not the only unusual characteristic of this particular species as they start their life as females but then change into males during their lifespan.
