Seahorses are very different from all other fish: they swim upright, spend most of their time standing still, and move slowly. There are about 50 different species worldwide and in Portugal we can find two kinds — the Hippocampus guttulatus (long-snouted seahorse) and the Hippocampus hippocampus (short-snouted seahorse) —, mostly in the Ria Formosa´s aquatic prairies. Measuring between 12 and 15 centimetres, in general, these enigmatic creatures are worth getting to know better. The proof version of this collectible coin has some colour details.
