Amazing coin issued by the Republic of Palau in 2010 belonging to new series: World of Insect. It depicts the terrible grasshopper species and particularly it honors the desert locust: one of the Egyptian biblic plagues. Since the beginning of time, Desert Locusts have been a subject to hatred and fear. Their habits are simple – they reproduce at lightning speeds, and when the population has reached its peak, they move to a new area, leaving destroyed crop fields behind them. The largest population of these animals currently resides in the Sahel region in North Africa, although they are also widespread all over the Arabian countries, Iran, Israel, Turkey and South of Spain. Despite the efforts to control their numbers to reduce the massive damage done to crop fields, their population still remains high, and millions of tons of crop are destroyed every year. 925 Weight: 1/2 Oz – 15.57g Diameter: 35 mm Purity: PROOF Mintage: 1,000 Pcs Worldwide Certificate COA: Yes Box: Yes.
