The Peregrine Chick:
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!
