Pintail Duck - Coloured Coin (2014)
Vibrant colour on an extra-large 25-cent coin! Order today!
The northern pintail is so named for its pin-like tail feathers. These long, skinny plumes accentuate the pintail's slender build. It's an elegant duck, with males typically sporting a chocolate-brown head, a blue-grey bill and a white neck with combinations of black, grey and white along the back, and a blackish-green patch called the "speculum" shimmering from grey wings.
In contrast, the female's colouring is far more muted to provide critical camouflage while nesting, but her bronze speculum and mottled brown feathers have an understated elegance all on their own.
The pintail is a fast and agile flyer. It's one of the first migratory birds to return to its Canadian nesting grounds after wintering in the south. The greatest numbers breed on the prairies and in the Western Arctic, where birders can delight in the graceful duck they affectionately call the "Greyhound of the Air."

I bought this coin as a gift and it was very well received. The colours are really pretty and the case is perfect for storing or displaying the coin. I would definitely purchase additional coins with colour from the Mint.

Canadian Wild in any form, Animals, Birds, Trees, Insects, Fish are all great products for collecting, learning and creating interest in Nature for a child or an adults. Individual packages are great for gifting but for showing the collection they are a pain. Some sort of colourful book or case to house each series would be a good idea.
