Comments

On 2017, 950 of these coins were sold in sets (four species of Penguin) straight from the mint, but in circulation quality.
250 coins were sent for circulation in the Falkland Islands. making these technically "circulating commemoratives".
This coin is uncoloured ; the coloured versions issued earlier in the year were not intended for circulation and are numismatic products rather than circulating commemoratives.
