Westarctica's second set of coins, also minted in 2005, is the only wooden set of coins produced by the Central Bank. Two of the coins commemorate significant events in Westarctica's history, while the third coin celebrates the [[emperor penguin]], Westarctica's national animal. Each coin is $1 denomination and all have smooth edges. | |||
The two historical coins commemorate the 30 June 2004 creation of the [[Grand Ducal Charter]], which served as Westarctica's constitution from 2004 - 2010, and the 75th Anniversary of [[Richard Byrd|Admiral Richard Byrd]]'s pioneering expedition into Westarctica's interior. | |||
They were not terribly popular with collectors, and are generally sold at the low price range for Westarctican coins. | |||
