I'm a huge fan of monarch butterflies! I am even trying to grow milkweed plants in my backyard to try to keep monarchs from fading away. It's just sad to me that the artist who drew the halve-kilo coin evidently has never seen what a real monarch looks like, as that design is way off.

I think the blame lies elsewhere, Ms. Heine submitted a painting to the Mint that accurately captured the Monarch butterfly in its natural environment - its conversion by others to Murano glass is where things went slightly awry.

BTW, Ms. Heine also planted milkweed in her garden to attract Monarch butterflies.
