Context: WWF Conservation Series
The international WWF Conservation series of the 1970s combines selected national motifs with the protection of endangered species. The majority of the coins were minted at the Royal Mint in Llantrisant . This resulted in a clearly defined series of themes across several countries, with comprehensible editions, consistent specifications, and strong collector response. Especially the Asian generations are still sought after today because they convincingly combine animal iconography and state heraldry.

Portrait subject: Komodo dragon
The Komodo dragon is the largest living lizard and is endemic to Indonesia. Its distinctive appearance ensures an instantly recognizable silhouette on the coin. Furthermore, the design takes into account the detailed scales and body posture, so that the motif appears three-dimensional even in higher mint-state grades. This makes this type of stamp ideally suited as a centerpiece for a wildlife or Indonesia focus collection.
