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!

Dem Republic Of Congo Prism Butterfly Set 2002 3 Five Franc Crowns BU
$99.99I’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.

Democratic Rep Of Congo Prism Porpoise Dolphin 2003 5 Franc Crown Br. Unc
$39.99Dolphins, like porpoises, are one of the marine mammal species known to practice porpoising (a behavior to increase locomotion by “leaping” from the water). The designer here has done an excellent job of rendering a porpoising dolphin in a Prism applique on this brilliant proof-like world coin. If you are a collector of animal or sea life world coins then this is one add to your world coin collection.
Democratic Rep Of Congo Prism Bird Of Paradise 2004 5 Franc Coin Colored Proof
$39.99Who 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. If you are a collector of world coins with an interest in birds or the environment then this unique world coin with its prism applique of a Bird of Paradise is for you!
