British Columbia's Pacific coast is home to a remarkable diversity of wildlife, including over 100 species of starfish, or sea stars. The Leather Star (Dermasterias imbricata), brought to life on this 1/25 ounce pure gold fractional collectable coin, is one of the coast's most visible stars. Despite looking docile and defenseless, sea stars like the Leather Star are superbly adapted for survival: if its body is damaged, a sea star can regenerate one or more of its limbs.

All collectable coins have been previously owned. Conditions will vary.
