Coin set – Iceland

Complete set of coins with

marine life in Iceland.

European green crab, or shore crab,

is one of the 100 most invasive species in the world.

Native to the northeast Atlantic

and the Baltic Seas, he settled

coastal areas around the world since the 19th century,

from South America to New Zealand.

The image of a shore crab is depicted

on one of the reverses of this complete

set of coins of the Icelandic krone.

Others show Atlantic cod,

two common dolphins

four capelin and lumpfish (or lumpfish).

The obverse depicts the defenders of Iceland

from the Heimskringle saga and at the same time heraldic

supporters of Iceland: a giant, a griffin, a dragon and a bull.
