Eritrea is an Eastern African country, north of Djibouti and Ethiopia, west of the Red Sea, and east of the Sudan.  Eritrea gained its independence from Ethiopia in 1991 after a 30 year war.  Due to the war and persistent drought, its rich species diversity has diminished and many of its animals are endangered species. 

The design on the coin features a lion and cub with the inscription “PRESERVE PLANET EARTH” in the surround.

The back of the coin carries an image of an Eritrea coastal scene including the beach, the Red Sea, a camel, a palm tree, and a sailboat. 

The diameter of this finely struck and detailed coin is 38.60 mm and it weighs 28.20 gms. 

 This coin (38.60 mm in diameter) is much larger than both USA quarter (24.26 mm in diameter) and USA half dollar (30.61 mm in diameter).
