Coin Trivia - My very first painted coin

Yes, it is true!  This was the very first coin that I completed to sell. Can't believe I have been painting coins now for 10 years.  In honor of that, I just posted it in a second color.  The original opalescent turquoise and now a deep translucent blue.

Trivia about Crocodiles: They can close their ears!
Most of us know crocodiles spend a lot of time in the water with just their heads peeking out.  Their eyes are located high on their heads but their ears are a bit lower and so are underwater. They have special flaps that cover their ears and that keeps them dry.  On land, they can open the ear flaps to hear better.
