The Mint says about this coin:

Celebrating the beauty and power of magnificent birds of prey, these high quality 1oz Silver coins have been issued by the Pacific island of Niue as part of the Birds of Prey coin series. A Peregrine Falcon is vividly depicted on the the mirror-like finish of this proof coin. Found worldwide, except for rainforests and Arctic regions, this bird of prey is the fastest-flying bird in the world. 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 a Peregrine Falcon captured in mid-flight with talons outstretched to grasp its prey. The bird is displayed against the mountainous, forest clad background representing its natural habitat. Powerful and fast-flying, the Peregrine Falcon is one of the most widely distributed species in the world. It hunts medium-sized birds, dropping down on them from high above at up to 200 miles per hour.The inscriptions of the name of the coin, its weight and metal fineness are also indicated on the reverse.
