Palau Prism Superb Fruit Dove 2006 One Dollar Crown BU

The Superb Fruit Dove is a small colorful bird, with the male and female differing greatly in form and appearance. While the male’s appearance is very colorful and delights the eye with its multicolored composition, the female’s plumage is more subdued. Her superbly colored plumage acts as amazingly good camouflage among the branches. In the chameleonic change between light and shadow, the bird’s contours melt into the background. The Fruit Doves only rarely leave the treetops to occasionally search for food on the ground. It is amazing just how large the fruit and seeds on which the Fruit Doves feed can be at times. If you are a collector of world coins with an interest in birds or the environment then this unique Crown with a prism applique of a Superb Fruit Dove is for you!
