Birds of Prey coin series from New Zealand Mint

New Zealand Mint's new Birds of Prey series profiles three of the world's finest raptors. The three Silver 1oz coins feature an Osprey, Great Horned Owl and American Eagle.

Each bird is shown in colour, against a background of a nature scene. The reverse of each coin has a Raphael Maklouf effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The coin is issued by New Zealand Mint as legal tender, under the authority of Niue Island.
