The King Penguin is the second-largest species of penguin, surpassed in size only by the Emperor Penguin. These birds are well-suited for an aquatic life, using strong flippers and sturdy bodies for swift movement in the water. The Tower Mint celebrates the presence of these penguins in East Falkland with a new gold and silver coin series. Right now, 2025 1 oz Falkland Islands Gold King Penguin Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2025 1 oz Falkland Islands Gold King Penguin Coin is available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and comes housed inside a protective plastic flip. The coins in the new Falkland Islands King Penguin Series come in gold and silver with proof and BU specimens available.
One of the most endearing behaviors of King Penguins is their peculiar habit of engaging in what researchers call “tobogganing” – when they’re in a hurry on snow or ice, they’ll flop onto their bellies and use their flippers and feet to push themselves along, sliding like children on a sled. They seem to do this both for practical transportation and sometimes apparently just for fun, especially when going downhill.
The obverse of 2025 Falkland Islands Gold King Penguins features a left-profile bust of King Charles III, designed by Glyn Davies. The king appears without a crown in this traditional effigy used for British coinage.
On the reverse of 2025 1 oz Gold King Penguin Coins, a group of King Penguins is depicted in an arctic setting. The design highlights a large adult penguin in the foreground, with four others, including a juvenile, positioned in the background. The Falkland Islands provide an essential breeding habitat for this species, with most of the population residing at Volunteer Point.
