| A brief annotation | The annual Treasures of the World coin series was created to showcase the abundance of natural riches found on the Earth’s various continents. With the use of the locket concept, specimens of each treasure are able to be encapsulated in a precious metal collector coin. Significant deposits of garnet can be found in Europe, with the gemstone’s sparkling qualities making it as popular today as it has been throughout history. |

Интересная серия монет. Изюминкой в данной монете является конечно же наличие образцов граната.
