Item No. 36337 ST. BARTHÉLEMY: AV 20 euro, 2004, KM-XE15, pattern essai, mintage 50, Pied-billed Grebe - Wildlife Protection, Proof. The gold 20 Euro coins are hand struck and each contains 1/4 troy ounce of gold. They are 27mm in diameter. Each coin features an important native animal on one side and the territorial arms on the other. The revised mintage on the gold has been dropped to only 50 pieces of each type, making them an unbelievable rarity. Because each coin is individually hand struck, minor imperfections may be encountered. The Pied-billed Grebe (Podilymbus podiceps)[1], is a species of the grebe family of water birds. Since the Atitlán Grebe, Podilymbus gigas, has become extinct, it is the sole extant member of the genus Podilymbus. The Pied-billed Grebe breeds across Canada, parts of the United States, and temperate South America. Although this species does not appear to be a strong flier, it has occurred in Europe as a rare vagrant on a number of occasions, and one bird in England bred with a Little Grebe, producing hybrid young. The most widespread of North American grebes, it is found on remote ponds, marshes, and sluggish streams. It is usually the first grebe to arrive on northern inland waters in springtime, and the last to leave in autumn. It is rare on salt water. This grebe rarely flies, preferring to escape danger by diving. It feeds on fish (carp, catfish, eels), insects (dragonflies, ants, beetles), and amphibians (frogs, tadpoles). The Pied-billed Grebe is small at 31-38 cm (12"-15") in length, stocky, and short-necked. It is usually brown or gray in color. It has a short, blunt chicken-like bill, which in summer is encircled by a broad black band (hence the name). It is the only grebe that does not show a white wing patch in flight. This grebe is usually silent, except in breeding season when the male voices a loud, laughing cuck, cuck, cuck or cow, cow, cow. Folk names of this grebe include dabchick, devil-diver, dive-dapper, hell-diver, and water witch. |

Item No. 36338 ST. MARTIN: AV 20 euro, 2004, KM-XE15, pattern essai, mintage 50, Osprey with fish - Wildlife Protection, Proof. The gold 20 Euro coins are hand struck and each contains 1/4 troy ounce of gold. They are 27mm in diameter. Each coin features an important native animal on one side and the territorial arms on the other. The revised mintage on the gold has been dropped to only 50 pieces of each type, making them an unbelievable rarity. Because each coin is individually hand struck, minor imperfections may be encountered. The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) is a medium-large raptor which is a specialist fish-eater with a worldwide distribution. It occurs in all continents except Antarctica, but in South America only as a non-breeding migrant. It is often known by other colloquial names such as fishhawk, seahawk or Fish Eagle. The Osprey is 52-60 centimetres (20.5-23.6 in) long with a 152-167 cm (5-5.5 ft) wingspan. It has mainly white underparts and head, apart from a dark mask through the eye, and fairly uniformly brown upperparts. Its short tail and long, narrow wings with four long "finger" feathers (and a shorter fifth) give it a very distinctive appearance. Juvenile birds are readily identified by the buff fringes to the upperpart plumage, buff tone to the underparts, and streaked crown. By spring, wear on the upperparts makes barring on the underwings and flight feathers a better indicator of young birds. Adult males can be distinguished from females from their slimmer bodies and narrower wings. They also have a weaker or non-existent breast band than the female, and more uniformly pale underwing coverts. It is straightforward to sex a breeding pair, but harder with individual birds. In flight, Ospreys have arched wings and drooping "hands", giving them a diagnostic gull-like appearance. |
