Obverse

The obverse of the 2026 Falkland Islands Silver Southern Rockhopper Penguin Coin features King Charles III. This portrait was created by artist Glyn Davies and shows His Majesty in left-profile relief. The design does not include a crown and represents the first-generation effigy used during his reign.

Reverse

On the reverse of the 2026 1 oz Silver Southern Rockhopper Penguin Coin, you will find two penguins standing together along the rocky coastline. Rockhopper Penguins are famous for their unique yellow feather crests and smaller size compared to other penguin species. Their bold appearance and active nature have helped make them a favorite among wildlife enthusiasts.

History

Rockhopper Penguins are native to the cold coastal regions of the southern Atlantic and Indian Oceans. They are commonly found nesting on steep rocky cliffs and shorelines where crashing waves and rough weather are part of everyday life. Their strong legs and excellent balance allow them to navigate difficult terrain with ease, helping them thrive in locations that few other animals would choose to inhabit.
