Comment
From the 1996 platinum 4 coin set ($300, $150, $75 and $30)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1996 Canadian Platinum Peregrine Falcon coin is that it features a unique design element that sets it apart from other coins in the Elizabeth II series. The coin's reverse side features a stylized representation of a peregrine falcon in flight, with its wings spread wide and its sharp talons extended. The falcon is depicted in a dynamic pose, as if it is about to pounce on its prey. This design was created by Canadian artist and naturalist, Robert Bateman, who is known for his realistic and detailed depictions of wildlife. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a highly sought-after collector's item among coin enthusiasts and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
