Product Overview
This limited-edition matched coin-and-stamp set features the peregrine falcon with both a one-ounce $5 fine-silver coin and a set of two Canada Post postage stamps. The set is presented in a high-quality wooden display case with an information booklet about the falcon. The coin design features a regal falcon tending to her nestling. The coin is in double-struck with a frosted cameo finish and weights about one troy ounce.

Formerly known as the "duck hawk," the peregrine falcon can be found just about anywhere in the world, with the exception of the harshest and most remote regions. In North America, this majestic bird will make its home on the ledge of a city skyscraper as readily as it will nest high on a rugged rocky cliff.

One of the fastest birds in the world, the peregrine falcon can dive at an astounding 300 kilometres per hour. It might appear to be a fairly new addition to the urban landscape, but its relationship with humanity dates back centuries. As an exceptional hunter, its ability to seize small birds in midair or knock larger birds right out of the sky has made it a prized bird for falconers even prior to the Middle Ages.
