Pelicans are large waterfowl, distinguished in particular by their long beak and enlarged throat pouch. With a capacity of up to 13 liters, the throat pouch serves the pelican as a landing net when fishing. Pelicans are native to tropical, subtropical and temperate zones and feed almost exclusively on fish. As a heraldic animal, the pelican can be seen on the coats of arms of the US state of Louisiana, Barbados, Arbois (France) and Luckenwalde (Germany), among others. The African Ounce Series with annually changing motive honors a different African species each year. The limited African Ounce - Pelican silver proof coin is delivered in a coin capsule including a certificate of authenticity.
