2016 Tristan da Cunha 1 Crown 1-oz Silver Whale Shark NGC GEM Proof

A Whale of a Shark Released for the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week!

When people think of sharks, the most common images swimming through their minds are ones of ferocious Great White Sharks, savage Tiger Sharks, or bad-tempered Bull Sharks. But seldom do people think of the biggest shark of all: The Whale Shark. Well, that all changes now as ol’ Whaley finally gets his due on this 2016-dated coin released in conjunction with the Discovery Channel’s popular “Shark Week” programming.

Issued as part of Tristan da Cunha’s Sharks of the Atlantic Ocean series, this impressive Whale Shark coin is struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. It depicts a pair gigantic whale sharks swimming in their natural habitat. Whale Sharks are not only the largest shark, but they’re also the biggest fish in the sea. It can be as long as a school bus and weigh as much as 50,000 pounds. Though they are enormous, they aren’t ones to feed on humans. Instead, these gentle giants feast on a diet of krill, plankton and small fish that it filter feeds like a baleen whale. So docile are these sharks that they’ve even been known to allow swimmers to hitch a ride!
