This long-lived (80 years) species has suffered a dramatic population decline. And given its late maturation (14-25 years), even the smallest increase in adult mortality pushes it closer to extinction. But there is some good news: nest protection and head-starting programs, like the one established by the Toronto Zoo and its partners, are part of ongoing efforts to give this "smiling" turtle a more certain future in Canada.
Set Highlights:
- This set includes a $2 coin composed of nickel, steel and brass; a $1 coin composed of brass plated steel, and $0.50, $0.25, $0.10 and $0.05 coins composed of nickel plated steel.
- Displayed in book-style packaging with removable lens and serialized certificate. Maroon outer cover with black box.
- These uncirculated coins have been carefully selected to provide you with the best examples of their kind.
- Obverse: Features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
- Reverse: Designed by Canadian artist Pierre Girard, your exclusive specimen $1 coin features a Blanding's turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) sunning itself on a log in its wetland habitat.
