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!

Democratic Republic Of Congo Acrylic Chinese Junk 10 Francs 2004
$49.99Under the reign of the 3rd Ming Emperor Yung Lo (1403-1424) the largest known Junks were built in the then Chinese capital Nanking and measured approx. 140m long and 60 m wide. The only remains of these Junks, a helm, was found in a shipyard and was more than 30 meters long. The Junk was like a floating village; with fresh water tanks, salt water filled compartments for living fish, compartments for livestock and being powered by 9 sailing masts was therefore excellently equipped for long distance sailing adventures. These kind of so-called “Treasure Junks” had enough storage to transport even Giraffes from Africa to China for the Emperor’s Zoo. Recently, documents were found which reported visits to Europe – France and the Netherlands. This would have meant sailing around the Cape of Good Hope. All voyages were under the command of the famous Chinese Admiral Zheng He (1371-1435) The Junks were seven times larger than Christopher Columbus’s sailing ship “Santa Maria”.

Eritrea Rhinocerous Crown 1994 Uncirculated
$14.99Issued by authority of the African country of Eritrea, this beautiful uncirculated crown features an African Rhinocerous. A Rhinoceros, commonly called a rhino, is any of five surviving species of odd-toed ungulate in the family Rhinocerotidae, all native to Africa or Asia. The Rhino is characterised by large size, one of the few remaining megafauna animals surviving today, with all of the species capable of reaching two thousand pounds or more in weight. Rhinos sport one or two horns on the center of the forehead, and when there are two horns, they are aligned one in front of the other. These herbivorous giants have a thick protective skin, formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure. They also share an acute hearing and sense of smell, but poor eyesight over any distance. Most rhinoceros live to be about 40 years old. A male rhinoceros is called a bull, a female a cow, and the young a calf; a group of rhinoceros is called a “crash”.
Eritrea Triceratops One Dollar Crown 1993 BU
$14.99Eritrea – Triceratops – One Dollar Crown – 1993 – Brilliant Uncirculated Triceratops, from the Greek meaning “three-horned face,” (because it had three horns) was a ceratopsid herbivorous dinosaur from the Latest Cretaceous period of North America. It lived on the planet about seventy million years ago. It was about thirty feet long, ten feet tall, and probably weighed around 12,000 pounds. Triceratops was discovered by John Bell Hatcher in 1888, named by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1889 and its acceptance as a legitimate dinosaur came when an intact skull was found. The sturdy nature of the animal’s skull has ensured that many examples have been preserved as fossils, allowing variations between species and individuals to be studied.
