South Pacific sea turtles exhibit distinctive feeding patterns based on their species: green turtles primarily graze on seagrass and algae, transforming from omnivorous juveniles to herbivorous adults in a unique dietary shift, while hawksbills use their narrow, pointed beaks to extract sponges and soft corals from reef crevices, playing a crucial role in maintaining coral reef health and biodiversity.

All 2025 1 oz Pitcairn Islands Gold Ocean Wonders Turtle Coins are available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. These coins have one of the lowest mintages in the series and are individually packaged in protective plastic capsules.

The obverse of the 2025 Pitcairn Islands Gold Ocean Wonders Turtle Coin features the official effigy of His Majesty King Charles III. Captured in left-profile without a crown, this likeness is the first-generation design by Glyn Davies and serves as the standard monarch portrait across Pitcairn Islands coinage.

On the reverse of 2025 1 oz Gold Ocean Wonders Turtle Coins, the design offers a dynamic visual of a sea turtle gliding through the ocean. In the South Pacific, nesting beaches on islands like Tetiaroa in French Polynesia and Vanuatu’s Moso Island provide critical habitat, with females often nesting multiple times in a single season at 10-14 day intervals, though they typically only reproduce every 2-5 years.
