Description

The Golden Aves coin from the Evolution of Life series honors the formidable Phorusrhacidae, also known as the terror bird. These prehistoric, flightless birds, which stood up to 3 meters tall, were apex predators during the Neogene and Paleogene periods in South America. Known for their powerful legs and hook-shaped beaks, they could sprint at speeds up to 50 km/h. Climate change and competition from new predators likely contributed to their extinction. This 0.5 g gold coin, with shiny red gold plating and an antique finish, captures the essence of these incredible creatures. Limited to 15,000 pieces, it’s a must-have for collectors.
