Information:  Part of the 2012 Compass Rose Set:  On the front of the coin, the compass points hold images of some the most awe-inspiring animals on the planet.  The Lion, king of the beasts, once ruled the North.  The majestic Elephant points his trunk to the East.  A Great White Shark breeches the ocean surface in the South.  And the migrating Wildebeest leads his herd westward to the watering hole.  The back of the coin features a scene depicting two frightened sailors as they catch signt of the legendary ghost ship..  The Flying Dutchman!  17th-century nautical folklore holds that the crew of the Flying Dutchman encountered a violent storm off the Cape of Good Hope.  It is said that the captain refused to turn back, exclaiming: "I will round this Cape, even if I have to keep sailling until doomsday!" And so he does, appear as "a phantom ship all aglow" that shall never make port again.   Kilimanjaro, the great mountain of Africa, rises above the Serengeti like an empress...or is it like Olympus?  That's for you to decide.  Our standard version this year offers the warm yellows and golds of an African sunrise.
