Pictures do this coin no justice...

 

Here's another half dozen of my favorite bird designs:

 

I like this Emu because he's "special":

 

1995 Great Britain
50th Anniversary End of World War II
Piedfort Two Pound Proof
32 gr 28.4 mm.
.925 Silver
10000 minted



This one is double thick. I have the regular size too.

(It' like an Alfred Hitchcock movie in here!)

 

Some US Commemorative Coins

 

Only part of a bird, but a cool part:



And while I'm not really a super fan of the bird, I do really like the design and subject matter of the other side:



Same with this one - another of my favorite designs (the flying goddess):



And same with this one (favorite one with swords, but the eagle is interesting):



I've always enjoyed this one as well:



Not my coin anymore, but this was a truly gorgeous bird (probably my favorite US eagle):



I'll stop!

 

stldanceartist I think you're just "winging it" now.

 

I love the Charter Oak on that Connecticut Half. Keep hoping someday I'll find a nice example of both that and the 1927 Vermont - I keep dreaming about rolling into an out of the way coin shop and finding each one in the original packaging with gorgeous toning. Haha.............but seriously, I do dream about stuff like that.

 

This slab should say "PL" on it, but it doesn't (but it should):



I don't know WHO wouldn't like this little fella:



Here's a coin I wish didn't have a huge gash on the other side, or the damage to this side, or the black spot - otherwise it'd be TPG entombed in my permanent collection (I've still kept it with no plans to sell):



Everybody loves the birds on this one - I guess I could have shared it for the Superb Owl Day (I remembered the bats, but not the owl):



This eagle is Top of the Pop:



And I honestly just really like this eagle (I learned my great great grandmother was born in 1863 just north of Venice) and I wish I had a nicer example:

 

I have a good date range of NZ Florins with the KIWI flightless bird.
Here's part of my collection
1947-51

The Obverse vary.
1947 King George VI - Emperor
1948-51 obverse is King George the Sixth

 

@idhair Love that coin!! How 'bout the obverse?

 

Bird IS the word!...
