Owner Comments:
Crocus is a genus of flowering plants having about 100 species. The most famous member of the genus is Crocus sativus, which is the source of the spice and dye, saffron. Crocus alatavicus, which appears on this coin, is a relatively small plant with narrow leaves and vertical flower petals. The petals are basically white with purple speckling on their outer surface. The plant is native to central Asia but has been planted elsewhere.
