The zebra lionfish (Dendrochirus zebra) has been a recurring subject in Russia's ongoing aquatic wildlife series, which the Saint Petersburg Mint has produced in nickel silver for mass accessibility rather than the precious-metal collector market. The "10 Leagues" branding references Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, a thematic framing the mint has used to anchor the series around deep-sea and exotic marine fauna.
