Comment
The Greater Bird of Paradise (Paradisaea apoda) was introduced from New Guinea, now extinct in Trinidad.
On July 1, 2017 the metal composition of the 5 cents changed into a steel core with a copper overlay, which makes this coin magnetic. The magnetic version is KM# 30b.
Since this change took place in the middle of the year it's likely the 2017 coin exists in old and new metal composition, so be aware to tick the right entry when adding a 2017 coin, especially since there are several other entries in between.
Interesting fact
The 5 cents coin from Trinidad and Tobago, which was minted between 1976 and 2017, features an image of a national symbol of the country, the Hummingbird, on its reverse side. The Hummingbird is known for its tiny size and rapid wing movement, and it is found in many parts of Trinidad and Tobago. The coin's design was created by artist and sculptor, Anthony G. Francis, and it has been a popular collector's item among numismatists.
