Description Hi everyone,

This is my newest coin design.

Since its subject matter is a little different to what I usually do, I thought I'd ask you all for feedback and interest in buying this coin.

It would probably make a good gift for your bio teacher or a biologist. XD

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a hobby, I enjoy reading up on animals, and for a few years I read up on evolution and related sciences.
As it made quite an impact on me (sad to say, I never took Biology in school), I thought to design a coin based on it.

So on the front is a circular phylogenetic tree, with various species represented under the lines.
On the back is a quote from Darwin, together with 14 of his Galapagos finches.

Thanks to for the tree and for help in checking and suggestions for the animals.

I'm not sure whether I am committed enough to actually buying this one, but this is great.Β  One of those, I think it's awesome that it exists. I especially like the front with the phylogenetic tree.

I LOVE the circular interpretation of the phylogenetic tree. That's ingenious. Looks like something that needs to go on the next Voyager or something like that.

If there was a way to string it up on a necklace, I would be very much interested in buying... otherwise I'll just lose it. :/

The coin is 2 inches in diameter and quite heavy! I wouldn't recommend wearing it as a pendant.
