In the obverse design of 2024 2 oz Antique Silver Red Eared Turtle Coins, you will find the Public Seal of Niue set within the environment of the turtle. The water and lily pads are finished with a colorized epoxy, while a small turtle can be seen swimming through the silver field in the bottom half of the design.
For the reverse side of 2024 Antique Niue Silver Red Eared Turtle Coins, the designers feature a close-up look at the red-eared turtle. The signature feature of the turtles, a stripe of red-orange along the back of their necks, is evident in this colorized, epoxy design.
Red-eared turtles get their name from the distinctive red or orange markings behind their eyes, as well as their ability to “slide” off logs and rocks and into the water when startled. These turtles typically grow to be 5-12 inches in length, with the females being larger than the males. They have a flat, oblong-shaped shell that is green or olive in color with darker patterns. Their underside, or plastron, is yellow. These turtles are excellent swimmers and can often be found basking on logs, rocks, or the edges of ponds and lakes.
These 2024 2 oz Antique Niue Silver Red Eared Turtle Coins come with a presentation box that features a window display for the coin. The coin and box arrive in a themed shipper, with a Certificate of Authenticity included.
