The King Penguin is the second-largest penguin species, with only the Emperor Penguin surpassing it in size. These skilled swimmers are built for life in the ocean, using their strong flippers and streamlined bodies to move effortlessly through the water. The Tower Mint is celebrating the wildlife of East Falkland with a new gold and silver coin series honoring the King Penguin. Right now, 2025 Proof Falkland Islands King Penguin 5 oz Silver Coins are available online from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 2025 Proof Falkland Islands King Penguin 5 oz Silver Coin is packaged in a protective capsule and presented in a Tower Mint display box. The proof finish enhances the design with frosted details set against mirrored backgrounds.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2025 Proof Falkland Islands King Penguin Silver Coin features a left-profile image of King Charles III. Designed by Glyn Davies, this portrait shows His Majesty without a crown. This effigy is one of the first-generation designs of King Charles III now appearing on coinage throughout the Commonwealth and British Overseas Territories. The inscriptions here include CHARLES III, D.G. REX., FALKLAND ISLANDS, 10, and 2025.
Reverse
On the reverse of 2025 Proof King Penguin 5 oz Silver Coins, a group of King Penguins is shown in its natural habitat. The design includes an adult in the foreground and several other birds in the background, including a chick. The Falkland Islands are home to one of the northernmost King Penguin colonies, with Volunteer Point being a key breeding site. Inscriptions here include FALKLAND ISLANDS and KING PENGUIN.
History
King Penguins are exceptional divers, capable of reaching depths of more than 300 meters while hunting for food. Their diet mainly consists of small fish like lanternfish, as well as squid. These deep dives are supported by physiological adaptations that allow them to store oxygen efficiently in their muscles and slow their heart rate to conserve energy underwater.
