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.

Not on the coin, sure. But a description to be put with the coin when sold would be much appreciated by the geekier element.

Galapagos finches are just too cool. It's a lovely coin, Sandara! Good luck with the minting process!

Thanks! Yeah, I guess so... but physically they look kind of drab.

Well, perhaps not physically. They're cute, yes, but mostly the evolutionary examples.
