Exotic origin of the Golden Oriole is confirmed by its fancy plumage. The male enraptures with its extravagant, brightly yellow feathers. He definitely stands out with elegant looks: his black upperwing coverts along with the black tail match the contrasting yellow color of the rest of his body. Therefore, it is of no surprise that the fabulously-colored bird looks impressive on our silver coin! Thanks to high-end digital printing, the images of the Golden Orioles look extremely lifelike – juicy colors and stark contrast let us see even the tiniest details of their plumage. Specially designed presentation case forms with the coin a coherent, harmonious whole.
