Goldfinch - Coloured Coin (2010)
Highlights:
Gorgeous colour and amazing attention to detail create this stunningdesign while the unusual specimen finish adds another collectible feature.
Coin design:
A goldfinch spreads it wings to reveal the distinctive bright yellowplumage for which it is named.
A flash of gold.
After a one-year hiatus, this captivating series returnswith a beautiful coloured coin showcasing the eyecatchingAmerican Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis).
The Goldfinch’s bright, canary-yellow plumageis reserved for the male while the female is moreolive-hued. As the year progresses, the male’scolouring becomes increasingly subdued, as willthe female’s. No other finch in the carduelinefamily displays such a striking difference in itssummer and winter colours. Scientists believe thisis because the Goldfinch goes through a uniquespringtime moult instead of gradually wearingdown its feathers like other finches.
The Goldfinch flies throughout southern Canada—and this coin will be a popular collectible for birdersof all kinds!
