Cuban Coin Commemorating the Ivory Bill Woodpecker?

Hi, a friend is looking for a Cuban Coin Commemorating the Ivory- Billed Woodpecker. I did a Google search for it but it didn't turn up. Anybody heard of it? Where else can I look for one?

Thanks

KM#768 (15g .999 silver, 5000 proofs minted) is identified by Krause as

• "Cuban green woodpecker" online at Numismaster.com (source of the photos)
• "Multicolor woodpecker" in the 2007 Premier Ed. Krause 21st Century print volume, and
• "Cuban red-bellied woodpecker" in the 2008 2d Ed. of that same work.

It is also the only woodpecker I can find among the many aviary denizens in the 19th-21st Century listings for Cuba.

Anyway, according to this site the ivory-billed woodpecker is "thought to be extinct".

 

Great. That's it!

Thanks

 

I can't get a price from that website unless I pay to subscribe. Any suggestions for purchase source for the coin including proof price?

 

Try some of the dealers Google found on a search for "Cuba Proof Coins".

 

Thanks, will do.
