The Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher is one of the smallest and most vividly coloured birds in the world. Native to the dense tropical forests of India, Southeast Asia, and the Philippines, it is known for its compact size, striking appearance, and elusive nature.
Measuring an average of just 13 cm, this bird features a glowing golden-orange body, deep violet crown, and bright cobalt blue wings. The incredible bird rightfully earning it’s nick name of ‘The Jewel Of The Forest’
This 1oz Silver coin beautifully captures the bird’s vibrant colours through selective colouring. Perched on a moss-covered branch and surrounded by finely detailed foliage, the design pays tribute to the species and the rich biodiversity of its rainforest habitat. This coin brings to life what wildlife photographers and enthusiast chase.
The deep contrasts between polished silver and vivid hues creates a piece that is both elegant and lifelike.
Issued by Ascension Island, this exclusive coin is limited to just 1,000 pieces worldwide. It is presented in an elegant display package with a numbered certificate of authenticity, making it a standout addition to any nature or numismatic collection.
