Description:
The U N E S C O Man and the Biosphere programme has changed the way we interact with nature. In celebration of the rich diversity of the Kolberg Biosphere, the South African Mint has, for the first time, launched a new colour range to showcase its staggering beauty. The range contains four sterling-silver 1oz crowns: two depicting the flora and two depicting the bird life of the unique U N E S C O Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve.
R 10 Male Orange-breasted Sunbird
The first R10 colour coin depicts a hovering male Orange-breasted Sunbird, with its colourful plumage of bright metallic blue, violet, olive green, orange and yellow. The long curved bills and brush-tipped tubular tongues of these sunbirds are perfectly adapted to feed on nectar, their primary source of food. Also depicted on the reverse of the coin are its scientific name, the denomination of R10 and details.
