The Spectacular Eclectic Chameleon!

The veiled chameleon is a remarkable species that somehow thrives in the arid regions of Yemen and Saudi Arabia. The creature’s most notable feature is its casque, a large, elaborate bony protrusion atop its head. Though it looks like a fez cap, the casque is an important appendage that’s used to store fat and helps the chameleon balance when it’s climbing. And not to be overlooked, it also provides a place for the chameleon to rest its head when it is sleeping!

Second Release In “Eclectic Nature” Series

Struck by Germany’s world-renowned Mayer Mint, this coin is the second release in the “Eclectic Nature” series and features a gorgeous design split into two selectively colorized halves, with a mirrored proof finish on one side and a silk black finish on the other, giving this coin a stark contrast. That contrast is certainly appropriate as the life of a veiled chameleon is almost like two halves. As newborns, these reptiles are a single pastel green color and bereft of their distinctive casques. The casque grows and they become more colorful as they mature.

In addition to the remarkable design, this Ultra High Relief (UHR) coin was struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver using patented Smartminting® technology. This technology, developed by Coin Invest Trust (CIT), allows designs to be struck in high relief with precise detail, without reducing the diameter of the coin.
