You'd Be Nuts To Pass On This Delightful Squirrel Coin!

Did you know that National Squirrel Appreciation Day is celebrated each year on January 21? And nowhere around the world are squirrels more revered than in Poland where the cute little furry rodents are all named "Basia." The use of this affectionate nickname is widespread in Poland and considered a part of the culture. Walk through any park in Warsaw and you'll see groups of children racing after squirrels squealing, "Basia, Basia, Basia!" as they offer them walnuts and other treats. The name is short for Barbara and the name of the squirrel in a famous children's story about an adventurous and curious squirrel who discovers a shiny acorn. The acorn turns out not to be a nut, however, but a silver coin!

This silver coin from the prestigious Mint of Poland illustrates that delightful tale in spectacular color thanks to state-of-the-art digital printing. Struck in 17.5 grams of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, the coin shows Basia sitting in a tree and making a wish on a star underneath an engraving that reads, "make a wish."

The coin was released on behalf of Cameroon and bears a legal-tender denomination of 500 Francs CFA.
