Ascension Island 2025 $1 Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher 1oz Silver Coloured Proof Coin

The Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher is one of the smallest and most vividly coloured birds in the world. Native to the dense tropical forests of India, Southeast Asia, and the Philippines, it is known for its compact size. The incredible bird rightfully earning it’s nick name of ‘The Jewel Of The Forest’ is beautifully captured in vibrant colours through selective colouring. Perched on a moss-covered branch and surrounded by finely detailed foliage, the design pays tribute to the species and the rich biodiversity of its rainforest habitat. This coin brings to life what wildlife photographers and enthusiast chase.
