I like the medal!  In case you need translation, "Tiburones Rojos" means "red sharks" We have a town near here named Tiburon, probably due to sharks seen by Spanish explorers. There are a lot of white sharks here, but I've never seen a coin or stretched penny here with this shark. Edited by KurtS

Thanks Kurts for the translation.
I do Love and Respect the Great White, and I am trying to collect every coin baring it.

Your difficulty may be that great whites are a protected species, so no hunting is permitted in USA, Australia, and S.Africa. Sometimes their teeth get stuck in surfboards around here...if I see any for sale, I'll let you know. |
