About the coin: Hawksbill sea turtles are found in tropical Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. They are recognizable from a narrow, pointed spout, and by a distinctive, colorful pattern on their shell. This species of turtle usually avoids deep waters, giving priority to coastal and coral reefs. They are most commonly seen on the northern island of New Zealand, in shallow island waters.
