Mintage of 65,000 coins. Obverse: All 12 of the magical sea creatures in the Luminous Marine Life series are shown in silhouette on the coins obverse. Air bubbles up between them and a tail fin disappears beneath the waves to the right. Reverse: On the coins reverse, a wide band, reminiscent of an old-fashioned porthole, frames an aquatic scene that features a coral reef. Stony corals are depicted in the top left of the scene, sea fans to the right, brain coral in the center and sea anemones in the bottom left, while clownfish are dotted around the reef. When the coin is illuminated with UV light, the coral and sea anemones glow and change color. Guaranteed by the Austrian Mint. Add this 2024 Austria Cupro-Nickel 3 Marine Life Mauve Stinger coin to your cart today! A UV torch gives off a special type of light that appears to bring the underwater creatures on the coins to life as they change color and glow vividly. Tiny creatures, which only become visible when you shine UV light on them, also appear here and there next to the main characters in the series, adding an element of surprise. As improbable and magical as the sea creatures featured on the coins may seem, they really do exist. Even though some of them live in the perpetual darkness of the deep seas where no ray of sunlight penetrates, they all have extraordinary luminous qualities. They flash, sparkle and glow and change color when necessary. As fleeting as a dream, the mauve stinger is a transparent, delicate creature that moves through the water with a gentle pumping motion, as if in slow motion. But as shown on the spectacular sixth coin in the Luminous Marine Life series, the jellyfish also knows how to put on a light show. The entire body of the mauve stinger can glow. When touched with a hard object, its bell and tentacles produce a light that lasts a few minutes. This bioluminescence is generated when a luminescent molecule is switched on by an enzyme. The mucous covering the jellyfish also begins to glow and, if it sticks to another object, can continue to glow there for a short time.
