2012 Evening Grosbeak Colored Commemorative Quarter

Part of the Birds of Canada Quarter Series.

The stunning, golden-yellow Coccothraustes vespertinus is a talkative bird of bright plumage with a contradictory ability to hide itself among the deciduous and coniferous trees in which it makes its home. If you already own the previous coins in the Birds of Canada series, then make sure to add this to your beautiful collection. This coin also makes an ideal gift for someone you know who is interested in beginning a collection.

Design: Designed by Canadian artist Arnold Nogy, this beautiful painted coin features a golden-plumed male Evening Grosbeak perched happily on a red-leafed, snowlined sumac bough.
