Wow, who knew there were so many penguin types? Not me!
Owls are my thing, but I have only a few representative examples (both ancient and modern), and I know better than to even try any sort of comprehensive collecting along that theme!
God comes first in everything I do. I’m dedicated to serving Him with my whole life. Coin collecting is just a hobby—but even in that, I seek to honor Him. ✝️
Just noticed your comment about the Emperor Penguin, we can source them here in Australia if you're still looking for them, currently we have 1 coming soon and are selling it here for 145 AUD (~ 94.5 USD right now).
It took me a bit to figure out what looked odd -- lack of an obverse with the country name and denomination -- till I finally saw an online description with "The coin is no longer legal tender as it is an altered version of the original legal tender.". That turns it into a very expensive token as far as I regard it, but thank you for mentioning it! I had not seen it before
"The coin is no longer legal tender as it is an altered version of the original legal tender."
That's correct - most ennobled coins are not legal tender and would be classified as medallions, or tokens but will still be guaranteed by either the private mint which ennobled them, or the dealer selling them (or both in some cases) to meet the stated weight and purity. Regardless, no dramas, just thought I'd mention it just in case it's something you look at. I'll be sure to keep a look out for you on this side of the pond for any new penguin releases.

Thank you very much.
I look forward to perhaps another species of penguins similar to emperor 2023 1oz which is one of my favorites, but after the whale, its more likely to be a walrus
@horseyride maybe you should start on another series in the meantime. You seem to have exhausted a lot of the issues.

I started collecting with my daughter who loves penguins, so I don't really have much motivation to swap themes. She would be appreciative if someone could tell us where to pick up a few real penguins for her as well, and she is willing to turn her room into a wildlife conservation center. (If that is a stretch, then where to get the old Pobjoy mint issues in gold)
