| Additional information |
Issued to mark COP15, the UN Convention on Biological Diversity conference held in Kunming, China in October 2021 — the first time China had hosted the conference and a politically significant moment for Beijing's positioning on environmental multilateralism. The meeting was ultimately split across two phases, with the second delayed into 2022, meaning this coin commemorates an event that was still formally incomplete at the time of striking.
