2011 1/25 Ounce 50-Cent Pure Gold Coin Peregrine Falcon

This 1/25-ounce 50-cent pure gold coin features the peregrine falcon, one of the most breathtaking birds of prey, diving at a speed of more than 300 km/h to strike its prey. It is increasingly common in urban settings, having adopted tall buildings as clifftop nesting sites. Its near-extinction sparked the ban of DDT chemicals and clearly illustrates the impact of human activity on the environment.
