It can weigh 500kg (1000 pounds) and grows to about 3 meters long (10 feet).  Due to its low reproduction rate, increased hunting and deterioration of the ocean meadows it has become an endangered species.    The 20 gram sterling silver coin is 38.6mm in diameter and has a mintage of only 2500 pieces.

BEAUTIFUL MULTI-COLORED BIRD COINS FROM PALAU

Palau Peacock and Bird of Paradise 5 Dollar sterling silver coinsTwo of the world's most spectacular birds are featured in stunning color on these two sterling silver Proof 5 Dollar coins from Palau.  The Asian Peacock and the Bird of Paradise are featured on the coins using the "Colour Medium Application" technique,  which causes a part of the colors to change and shift as the beholders perspective changes.  This change in color and glint with movement is appropriate for both of these magnificent colored birds.

THE CANADIAN "SPY COIN"

Canada colored poppy coin In early 2007 the United States Defense Department issued an espionage warning about Canadian coins with suspicious "nano-technology" that contained radio frequency transmitters were being used to track U.S. defense contractors.  The report turned out to be a major embarrassment to the government.  The coin in question turned out to be a regular issue 2004 Canadian colored Poppy quarter.  The Poppy quarter was the first colored coin issued for general circulation in the world.  Apparently the person filing the report was not familiar with the coin, and the report was not properly investigated before the warning was released.  (It makes me wonder about intelligence reports about terrorists.)  The 25-cent coin commemorates the Veterans who served in the Canadian armed forces. Featured on the reverse is a red poppy. The Poppy is the symbol of remembrance,  based on the Lieut. Col. John McCrae timeless World War I poem "In Flanders Fields"  The Poppy is stamped in pressurized ink and has a fluorescent security coating. Queen Elizabeth is on the obverse  It is an attractive and historic coin, but I really doubt that a spy would try to track someone from the United States with a Canadian coin that would most likely soon be spent.
Item CA-POPPY04 CANADA 25 CENTS 2004 COLORED POPPY, UNC. (KM510) $3.00
