Description: | The Imperial Volute is a large species of marine snail that lives in the shallow seas around the islands of The Philippines. It has long been prized by collectors for its attractively patterned shell. Traditionally, volute shells were used as a currency on some of the islands. Today a reference to this can be found on the Philippine 1 sentimo coin, which carries a picture of the shell. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East animals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
