Buy Birds of Paradise Silver Coins – Papua New Guinea's Living Jewels

The Birds of Paradise silver series celebrates the extraordinary plumage birds (Paradisaeidae) of Papua New Guinea and the Indonesian archipelago – among the most visually spectacular animals on Earth – in fine silver collector coins. With 2 products at CelticGold, this is a specialist series for collectors who appreciate the intersection of natural history and numismatic artistry.

The Birds of Paradise have been subjects of wonder since European explorers first encountered them in the 16th century; early specimens arrived without legs (removed for preservation), leading to the belief that they never landed and lived their entire lives in the air – hence the name. Papua New Guinea's national emblem, the Raggiana Bird of Paradise, appears on the country's flag and coat of arms.
