Bald Eagle is the first coin in the Hunters of the Sky series featuring iconic predators from above. Also known as raptors, these carnivores subsist on a diet of animals and fish. Featuring an eagle swooping down onto its prey, this first coin will be followed by the cunning Red-tailed Hawk and the shrewd Great Horned Owl, each coin with its own unique shape.
The Bald Eagle is presented in beautiful reverse proof quality and is struck from 99.99% pure silver.
Expert hunters, bald eagles can reach a speed of 100 miles (160km) an hour in a dive towards the water to snatch up fish. This bird of prey has lethal talons to catch fish, but some of their meals also come from carrion they scavenge or by stealing the prey of other animals.
