The Tower Mint is launching a new program in 2025 called Ocean Wonders, a three-year series featuring three different coin designs each year that highlight marine animals. The first coin in this series is the 2025 Ocean Wonders Turtle release, with Octopus and Whale designs also coming later in the year. Right now, Provident Metals has the 2025 Pitcairn Islands Ocean Wonders Turtle 1 oz Gold Coin available.
Highlights:
Each 2025 Pitcairn Islands Ocean Wonders Turtle 1 oz Gold Coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. These low-mintage coins are individually packaged in a plastic capsule to keep them safe.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2025 Pitcairn Islands Ocean Wonders Turtle Gold Coin shows King Charles III in a left-facing profile. This portrait, created by Glyn Davies, is the first official design of the king used on Pitcairn Islands coins and shows him without a crown. Inscriptions here include CHARLES III, PITCAIRN ISLANDS, FIVE DOLLARS, and 2025.
Reverse
The reverse of the 2025 Ocean Wonders Turtle 1 oz Gold Coin presents a detailed view of a sea turtle swimming through its ocean habitat. Islands like Tetiaroa in French Polynesia and Moso Island in Vanuatu serve as nesting sites, where female turtles return to lay eggs, sometimes several times in one season. However, they usually only nest every few years.
History
Sea turtles in the South Pacific show different feeding habits depending on the species. Green turtles switch from eating both plants and animals to mainly plants as they grow. Hawksbill turtles, with their slim, pointed beaks, feed on sponges and corals hidden within reef spaces, helping keep coral reefs balanced and healthy.
