Peregrine on Canadian Quarter
dupre501:
The Canadian 2006 $5 coin and stamp set came with a booklet, it is a great set. The coin has great detail and is one of the ones TPC has at the top of the estore page.
--- Quote ---There have been a few other peregrine coins in other countries, I have images of them along the top of the e-store page (http://www.species-at-risk.mb.ca/estore/e-pfrp-store.html) For information on the coins themselves, move the cursor over the images, when I set up the store I added notes to each one of the images. One even has a diamond for the peregrine's eye!

I, too, agree with you, Dennis. In fact i find all of them are poor representations of what they are suppose to be. The Mint has done so much better in the past.

No, no, Dennis, do not sit on the fence. Go for it, on behalf of all of us Phanatics. I'm sure that many of us agree with you. :-*

That has to be the saddest looking Peregrine I have ever seen...it appears to be more like West Coast Native Art.or a new design for the Fruit Loops box.
The folks that came up with this should really have a close look at a Peregrine. I think more detail for the coins would have been better...It appears to be the look that they are going for.
Wonder just how much it would cost to have someone come up this and hope that we like it ???
I'm sitting on the fence about an e-mail to the Canadian Mint and Free Press.
Sorry, just my thoughts on this :-\

I don't think the fine silver coin looks like a peregrine. It looks more like a parrot or a budgie to me. I know it is stylized but I never would have guessed that was a peregrine.
