Here are a couple of birds I really enjoy:

 

Puffin from my collection

 

@Paddy54 you know I love that Puffin!

Here is a coin I don't think I've posted before. I think it deserves an updated picture.

 

Well if you like mine....wait...not going to spoil...but I know of 1 newly purchased that is the Bomb!

 

I saw another here in the last day or so that was beautiful.

 

1971 Robert's Birds Bald Eagle
No 11
51 mm


The Bald eagle issue is considered to be one of, if not the most popular of this series of 50 medals, issued in groups of 5, from 1970-1976.
The series is named for Gilroy Roberts, the dean of America's medallic sculptors.
Mintage varied from each issue of 5 bird medals per set.
The lowest was 4400 and the highest, 13000.
This had a mintage of 8000.
I believe it is 2 oz. Looks better than this, near rim is showing plastic capsule glare and imperfection. I never took it out.

We have the birds fliting around in our garden

 

Can’t believe I forgot my new puffin:



EDIT: I think, since it's only HALF a puffin, his name should be Eric.

I also have a really nice NZ Florin I’ll see if I can dig out to image tomorrow.
