10 Dollars Spiny dogfish

Namibia's coastal waters host one of the Atlantic's most commercially pressured shark populations, and this issue appeared during a period of active international debate over spiny dogfish quotas — the species had been listed under CITES Appendix II consideration around this time, driven largely by European demand for fish-and-chip trade. The Bank of Namibia's wildlife bullion program was partly designed to leverage that conservation visibility for numismatic export revenue.
