Reverse

On the reverse of the 2025 1 oz Reverse Proof Silver King Penguin Coin, a flock of King Penguins is depicted in an arctic setting. A large King Penguin stands prominently in the foreground, with four additional penguins in the background, including an adult tending to its young chick. The Falkland Islands represent the northernmost range of this species, with an estimated 1,500 breeding pairs, most of which are found at Volunteer Point on East Falkland.

History

King Penguins inhabit sub-Antarctic regions, forming massive colonies in areas where Antarctic and sub-Antarctic waters converge. Some of the largest breeding populations are found on South Georgia, the Crozet Islands, the Prince Edward Islands, and the Kerguelen Islands. These colonies can range from thousands to hundreds of thousands of breeding pairs.
