Barn Swallow – CIT Coin Invest AG The Mint says about this coin:
The Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) is common in the whole world. It spends its breeding season in the temperate zones of the northern hemisphere. For hibernation it flies thousands of kilometres to the south. The Barn Swallow distinguishes itself from other swallows by its eye-catching long outer tail feathers, its chestnut-brown throat and the brownish coloured belly feathers. As the name already implies it preferably builds its nest in barns. The swallow who is a springtime messenger stands for good fortune and fertility. In the tattooing skill the Barn Swallow stood for long voyages and a happy homecoming. more Item ID: 23496 Country: Palau Date of issue: 2009 Denomination: 1 Dollar Material: Copper-Nickel Quality: Prooflike Mintage: 2500 pcs |
