Maldives 7 coin set (1984-2017)

Amazing coin set from the world’s lowest lying country Known mostly as a popular vacation destination, the Maldives are not only the smallest country in Asia. The beautiful islands are also the lowest-lying state in the world. The highest point is just over 5 meters above sea level. The close connection to the ocean is reflected on the reverses of this Rufiyaa coin set. Among the motifs are a coconut palm, bonito fish, a sailing ship, the old Malé Friday Mosque built of coral stone, a loggerhead sea turtle, the national coat of arms and a Triton’s trumpet – one of the largest sea snails in the world. Except for the 2 Rufiyaa bimetallic coin, all denominations depict a knotted rope. Shaped as an infinity symbol, the knot is meant to symbolize the hoped-for longevity of the money. – Including bimetallic coin – The maritime wildlife of the Maldives – Coin of the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization)
