The seventh 3 Euro coin from this series features a dangerous looking shark in color. There are over 500 different shark species that live in all the world's oceans. Sharks eat fish and other marine animals. Excessive fishing has threatened many shark species.

The glow-in-the-dark coin becomes active at night, but that is not its only extraordinary feature ― all 12 coins in the series are the first ever Austrian 3 euro coins.

One side of the coin features the silhouette of all 12 animals in the series; the other shows a colour-applied image of a shark that glows in the dark.
