New Zealand BIRDS GIANT EAGLE 1 Oz Pure Silver Coin

  

2009 New Zealand Giant Eagle. King of New Zealand's skies up to 500 years ago, the giant (Haast) eagle (Harpagornis moorei) was the largest eagle in the world with a wingspan of up to three metres!

Using its powerful talons and immense force to pierce its prey, this relentless predator was at the top of the food chain. Its killing capability is likely to have been a main contributor to the extinction of another giant New Zealand animal - the moa. Designed locally and with an emphasis on the giant eagle's fierce reputation, do not miss your opportunity to own this terrifying giant from our past in pure silver.

Offered in a free-standing presentation card with detailed information about this extinct bird, this legal tender coin would make a unique gift for someone of any age.
