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 Tokay Gecko $1 2009 Prism Technology Proof Crown

$39.99

Palau – Tokay Gecko – $1 – 2009 – Prism Technology – Proof Crown – The Tokay Gecko (Gekko gecko) belongs to the order of Squamata. Its natural habitat is on cliffs and in Southeast Asian rain forests. Fully-grown it attains a length of about fifteen inches. The nocturnal Tokay has its name from the male’s distinctive and often very loud cries. This sounds like “to-kay” or “ge-cko.” Due to the lamellar structure on its fingers and toes the Tokay has, as many other Saurian’s, the ability to climb up trees, walls and even up window panes vertically. In Asia the Tokay is believed to be a lucky charm and a fertility symbol. Total mintage on this prooflike coin was limited to 2,500 pieces worldwide.
