2011 Solomon Islands Marine Life Dugong Dugon Proof Silver Coin

Description

The dugong (Dugong Dugon) is a large marine mammal which, together with the manatees, is one of four living species of the order Sirenia. It is also the only sirenian in its range, which spans the waters of at least 37 countries throughout the Indo-Pacific, though the majority of dugongs live in the northern waters of Australia between Shark Bay and Moreton Bay. The dugong is the only strictly-marine herbivorous mammal, as all species of manatee utilize fresh water to some degree. This legal tender proof silver coin was issued by authority of the Government of the Solomon Islands and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Total mintage worldwide was limited to 2,500 coins.
