3 euro - Antarctic Krill - Austria - 2023 - BU

3 euro coin dedicated to the Antarctic Krill, Brilliant Uncirculated.
GLOW IN THE DARK!
Third coin of the Series “Luminous Marine Life".
The Antarctic krill is so important because it is one of the most abundant animal species on Earth and forms the nutritional basis of many other marine animals in Antarctica, including whales, fish, seals, penguins and other seabirds. If the Antarctic krill is doing well, other species are doing well, too. Krill themselves feed mainly on diatoms and other plant plankton that they collect on thin bristles on their front legs. In spring, their favourite food consists of microalgae that grow on the underside of drift ice.
