Obverse

Reverse

On the reverse face, you’ll witness the captivating sight of a striped marlin leaping from the water. The stripes on this particular species vary in intensity, depending on the marlin’s level of excitement or stress. The tall and rigid dorsal fin gives it a distinct appearance that adds to its allure.

History

Striped marlins are opportunistic predators that primarily feed on a variety of fish species, including mackerel, tuna, sardines, and squid. They use their sharp bill to slash through schools of prey, stunning or impaling them before consuming them.
