Colorful Songbirds of Canada

The Royal Canadian Mint is currently releasing a five coin fine silver series of coins, Colourful Songbirds of Canada.  These are half ounce coins, making them priced for a larger number of coin collectors.  These are fine silver coins!

The Colourful Songbirds of Canada coin series is a subscription series, and is also being made as individual coins.  This is a short series, and should be easy to collect.

Australian Birds Coins and Stamp Covers

The Perth Mint has several colorful birds of Australia coins, accompanied by stamp covers, in base metal.  The base metal keeps the cost down, and is an excellent way of starting an Australian bird coin collection.

In addition to the coin, there is a 55 cent stamp of the same bird, with a first day cancellation.

This will delight bird watchers, stamp collectors, and coin collectors.

The four birds and stamps are:
The Green Catbird, 2013;
The Yellow-billed Kingfisher, 2013;
The Striated Pardalote, 2013; and,
The Australian Shelduck, 2013

We happily provide a link to the Perth Mint, and in particular, the appropriate page.
