2 Pounds - Vespula Germanica - German wasp

Isla de Chiloé has no monetary authority and issues no legal tender — these pieces are privately produced novelty coins with no issuing government behind them. The German wasp subject is ecologically pointed: Vespula germanica was accidentally introduced to Chile and has become one of the most destructive invasive species in Patagonian temperate forests, where colony densities can reach levels ten times higher than in its native European range.
