• Royal Mint, Llantrisant within the 1970s Conservation Series

Context: WWF Conservation Series
The international WWF Conservation series of the 1970s combines national heraldry with endangered animal species. The coins were predominantly minted at the Royal Mint in Llantrisant, resulting in a consistent, clearly defined series for collectors with traceable mintages.

Portrait motif
The Houbara bustard is characteristic of desert and steppe regions of West and Central Asia. On the reverse side, the silhouette appears particularly three-dimensional due to the fine feather drawing, while the front side shows the bust of King Hussein bin Talal with Arabic inscription.
