Hungary Fork-Tailed Chimney Swallows 1998 2000 Forint Proof Silver Crown
$44.99This beautiful Hungarian proof silver Crown was issued in 1998 in support of the World Wildlife Fund. The reverse bears a scene of a pair of Fork-tailed Chimney Swallows feeding their young in the nest. I highly recommend this Crown for any world coins collector with an interest in either birds or world wildlife.
Zambia White Winged Flufftail 1986 10 Kwacha Proof Silver Crown
$49.99The White Winged Flufftail is a truly endangered bird native to Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Zambia, Rwanda, and South Africa. Population estimates for this species offer us only 700 and that number decreases every year. There have been no sightings of this lovely bird in Zambia for many years, but the country has honored it on this beautiful proof silver Crown; a poignant token of a people’s hope and loss. If you are a birder or a world coin collector with an eye out for vanishing specimens then I point you to this beautiful Zambian world coin.
Palau Prism Superb Fruit Dove 2006 One Dollar Crown BU
$39.99The 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!
Palau Prism Rainbow Lorikeet 2006 One Dollar Crown BU
$39.99The Rainbow Lorikeet grows to about a foot in length. The plumage on head and belly is blue, the back, underbelly and tail are green, and it sports a red neck. The geographic range is situated in North and East Australia, as well as on many South West Pacific islands, stretching as far as Indonesia. Light forests, parks, gardens and coconut groves serve as habitat. The nest is frequently in a hollow tree and is usually lined with decayed wood. During the breeding period from August to January the female lays 2 eggs and hatches these alone. The offspring are ready to leave the nest after 7 – 8 weeks. The food consists of juicy fruits, pollen and nectar, to which the Lorikeet is well adapted due to the brush-shaped, frayed tongue, thus playing an important role in the pollination of many types of trees and shrubs. Sometimes seeds and insects are also on the menu. 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 Lorikeet is for you!
Palau Prism Red Parrot 2006 One Dollar Crown BU
$39.99The most important feature of the Eclectus Parrot is probably the different external coloring of the sexes. Contrary to almost all other types of bird, in the case of this wax beaked parrot species, the female animal is strikingly feathered in red, whereas the male is predominantly green in color and thus well camouflaged against the leafage of the dense forests. Although these parrots are very prevalent in the rain forests of their geographic range, they are very difficult to observe due to their wariness. Small troops of Electus Parrots go searching through the treetops for fruit and seeds. They are considered to be strong fliers and have a lifespan of up to thirty years. 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 Red Parrot is for you!

Isle Of Man Preserve Planet Earth Series Razorbill 1996 One Crown Unc
$16.99The Razorbill is a bird of the temperate North Atlantic and adjacent parts of the Arctic Ocean. They breed on both sides of the Atlantic and in the east they breed as far south as Brittany (France), north to Svalbard and east to the White Sea in north-west Russia. Razorbills breeding in Britain and Ireland winter along the Atlantic coast of Europe from southwest Norway to Iberia and North Africa, and into the western Mediterranean. Immature Razorbills move significantly further away from their natal colonies than do adults and generally further south, though occasionally they stray west as far as Greenland and the Azores. Razorbills breed mainly on small ledges or in cracks of rocky cliffs and in associated screes, and on boulder-fields. Rarely, colonies have been found up to 1000 feet inland. Razorbills are usually associated with colonies of other seabirds, and small numbers scattered among large concentrations of Common Guillemots and Black-legged Kittiwakes can easily be overlooked. Razorbill ‘nest’ sites are usually hidden from view, but the presence of a colony is clearly indicated by the attendance of off-duty birds standing close by.
Gibraltar Preserve Planet Earth Series Eagle 1994 One Crown Uncirculated
$14.99Eagles are large predatory birds that have been symbols of power, courage, and immortality since ancient times. The more than 50 species all belong to the HAWK family, Accipitridae, order Falconiformes. Eagles inhabit all major land regions except Antarctica and New Zealand. Although once abundant, some eagles are becoming rare and face extinction. One rare species is the bald eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, the national emblem of the United States. Although protected by law, some large eagles are killed by farmers and gamekeepers or captured for use in falconry. In addition, the bald eagle, like other birds, has been affected by the widespread use of pesticides that, ingested, can weaken eggs.
Bosnia Herzegovina Eurasian Hoopoe 1996 500 Dinara BU
$14.99The Eurasian Hoopoes have long, thin, and decurved bills; broad round wings; square tails crossed by a wide white band, and long erectile crests. They feed mainly on ground, walking with ease (and even running) with accompanying movement of head. Fond of feeding on lawns and path or, alternatively, on manure or refuse-heaps, probing for larvae, etc. Crest depressed when at rest, but erected when excited or alarmed and for a moment on settling. Flight is not weak and uncertain as it appears, for it will readily elude trained falcons, mounting easily into the air away from them. Perches in trees, as well as on buildings, walls, etc., and will occasionally climb up tree like a woodpecker, but this is not usual. Fond of dust and sand-baths.
