2021 BIOT 50p 8-gm CuNi Powder Blue Tang Colorized BU

You’ve Found Her! Now Add “Dory” To Your Collection!

A colorful tropical fish that lives near coral reefs, the Powder Blue Tang is perhaps more well-known as Dory, the memory-impaired companion to Marlin as he searches for his son Nemo in the computer-animated adventure film Finding Nemo. Released in 2003 by Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures, Dory was also featured in the 2016 sequel Finding Dory. Now, the hair-brained little fish returns as the second release in a six-coin series from the British Pobjoy Mint that features unique sea creatures.

A Colorful Fish Featured On A Colorful Coin

Sometimes referred to as a Regal or Royal Blue Tang, this fish is a species of surgeonfish that is quite popular in fish tanks and aquariums. While Dory proved to be helpful in the movies, real-life Blue Tangs have likewise proven to be very helpful in managing their environment by playing a major role in keeping algae from getting out of control. Blue Tangs are mostly herbivores and feast on algae found on sponges, turtles, and amid coral reefs. This little Tang is pictured in blazing color on this legal-tender 50-pence coin that was released on behalf of the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), which just so happens to be one of the locations where these delightful little fish live, a region that features some of the cleanest seawater ever recorded!
