25 Cents 2011 - Perigrine Falcon


Added by Alain Martineau
In personal collections 39
General Description Three-ply nickel finish plated steel
Circulating in April 2012, this 25-cent circulation coin pays tribute to a bird species which nearly disappeared due to the use of DDT in the 1950's and 1960's. Brought back from the brink through countless volunteer efforts in cities across Canada and protected wilderness habitats such as New Brunswick's Fundy National Park, the Peregrine Falcon is equally at home in urban and natural environments.
