| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national coat of arms of Venezuela occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield with a white horse passant in the lower canton, a sheaf of wheat in the upper left canton, and crossed flags and weapons in the upper right canton; a cornucopia and a laurel branch flank the shield on either side. Below the shield, two crossed ribbons bear the inscriptions 'INDEPENDENCIA' and 'FEDERACION' with the respective dates '19 DE ABRIL DE 1810' and '20 DE FEBRERO DE 1859', and a lower scroll reads 'REPUBLICA DE VENEZUELA'. The outer legend 'REPUBLICA DE VENEZUELA' arcs around the upper periphery, with two five-pointed stars flanking the date '1975' at the base, all within a reeded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued as part of Venezuela's Conservation series, this piece was struck to raise international awareness and funds for wildlife preservation — an unusual mandate for a national mint. The Cock of the Rocks, Rupicola rupicola, inhabits the tepui highlands of southern Venezuela and Guiana; its inclusion reflected growing anxiety in the 1970s over Amazonian habitat loss, a concern that carried real political weight in Caracas at a time when the oil boom was reshaping the country's relationship with its own interior.
The series was produced in limited quantities for collectors rather than circulation, with the Banco Central coordinating issues through international numismatic distributors.
