Peregrine falcons are well-known for their affinity for nesting on cliffs and rocky outcrops. They prefer nesting sites with steep vertical faces that provide protection from predators and easy access to open airspace for hunting. Cliff nesting sites offer the falcons a strategic vantage point from which to survey their surroundings and spot potential prey.
Like many birds of prey, peregrine falcons exhibit sexual dimorphism, with noticeable differences in size between males and females. Female peregrines are typically larger and heavier than males, with broader wings and longer tails. This size difference is believed to be related to the roles each sex plays in reproduction, with females often taking on the larger task of incubating and brooding eggs while males focus on hunting and providing food for the family.
In the obverse design of the 2024 1 oz World’s Wildlife Silver Peregrine Falcon Coin, you’ll find the national coat of arms. The Democratic Republic of the Congo’s modern seal was adopted in 2006 and features a slab of rock as the base of the emblem. Above this, you’ll find the head of a leopard with a spear and an elephant’s tuck flanking it.
For the reverse of 2024 Congo World’s Wildlife Silver Peregrine Falcon Coins, the mint features the image of a falcon in flight. The falcon is shown with raised wings as its legs dangle beneath with extended talons. The background includes tree-covered peaks with clouds in the sky. The image of the peregrine falcon on this side is finished with a thin layer of 24-karat gold for visual contrast and brilliance.
These 2024 1 oz Congo World’s Wildlife Silver Peregrine Falcon Coins are available with individual capsules. Each coin comes with an acrylic capsule and boasts the aforementioned 24-karat gold layer.
