Celebrating the beauty and power of magnificent birds of prey, these high quality coins have been presented by the Pacific island of Niue as part of the Birds of Prey 1oz Silver coin series. An American Bald Eagle is vividly depicted on the the mirror-like finish of this proof coin. Known as the US national bird symbol, it is the only eagle unique to North America. The obverse of the Niue coin bears the effigy of Her Majesty Elizabeth II. The inscriptions surrounding the portrait include the Queen’s name, the name of the issuing country, the face value of the coin and its issuing year. The reverse dramatically captures an American Bald Eagle swooping upon a rabbit with its wings and claws outstretched to grasp its prey. This bird of majestic beauty and great strength, the bald eagle is the continent’s most recognizable aerial predator easily recognized by its shocking white head, electric yellow beak and penetrating eyes.
