The animal side
The elephant 2024 strides closer, its ears spread wide.
Series III begins with the elephant: whole figures in motion instead of the portraits of the first 2 series. The elephant stands for strength, power, wisdom and loyalty.



The value side
On the value side of the elephant 2024 the tusks frame the centre.
The value side shows 2 halves of the face, the tusks below with the wrinkled skin between them. Lay 2 coins side by side and the whole face appears.
Under the lens
