Tohui

This coin was from a series of medallic pieces struck to celebrate the 5th Birthday of Tohui. Tohui was born July 21, 1981 at the Chapultepec Zoo in Mexico. Tohui was famous for being the first Giant Panda born outside China to stay alive, so her 5th birthday was quite an event. Medallic coins commemorating Tohui's first five years were struck in silver, gold and platinum.
