New in my online shop - King Penguin from Falkland Islands

I painted just one of these coins a few years back, and have been purchasing a few bare coins here and there to offer them again. It has taken a while, but I have accumulated 3 of them to paint and just listed them in my online shop.

Before I started painting coins, I collected them for over 15 years, and belonged to our local coin club.  In fact, when I figured out how to paint them, most of my coin collection became the coins I painted. For me, the best part of collecting coins was the the fun of purchasing them.  Searching for something I didn't already own, and finding a reasonable price.  So obviously now I search for coins to paint, and I continue to really enjoy the "hunt."

This coin features a King Penguin, a large "flightless bird" that that scientists still don't know why they lost their ability to fly. They are the 2nd largest penguin with an adult height of about 36 inches, and have a life span of 26 years in the wild. They live in several antarctic areas, including the Falkland Islands where this coin is from.

Fun fact:  King Penguins walk slowly and do not hop.
