Dem Republic Of Congo Prism Butterfly Set 2002 3 Five Franc Crowns BU

I’ve tried to capture the beautiful gossamer wings of butterflies and dragonflies in illustrations before and I find it impossible to truly replicate them. Even in photography one can’t capture the flash of colors as they flutter about. Well, I was startled to see that the designer of these coins got it. The use of the Prism applique technique works perfectly to recreate that flitting, glinting impression we associate with these wonderful creatures in flight. I never would have expected it in a coin.

Palau Prism Superb Fruit Dove 2006 One Dollar Crown BU

$39.99

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!

Palau Prism Rainbow Lorikeet 2006 One Dollar Crown BU

$39.99

The 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

$39.99

The 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!

Who would think that the common crow is first cousin to this exotic creature, the Bird of Paradise, depicted on the reverse of this extraordinary world coin? Magellan and his crew certainly wouldn’t have. When his expedition brought this bird of sumptuous plumage back to Europe “Paradise” was quickly attached to its name. The male of the species is the show-stopper with his fiery orange and red head-dress and coat, and his frenzied and complex courtship dance. He is also one of the most polygamous of birds.
