Comments

The Galapagos Islands are an archipelago of volcanic islands distributed around the equator, around 1,000 kms west of Ecuador, in the Pacific Ocean. This archipelago has a population of around 40,000, and it is one of the most important natural parks in South America. These islands belong to Ecuador, and this is the first set of coins ever issued for this territory.
