I've got 222 Bird Coins in the album, with some others not yet filed, so probably around the 230 - 240 mark.  I've got the K'stan Pelican, Spoonbill, , the French Roosters, the Nagorno Karabakh Pheasant, all the NZ Birds, all the Indonesia Birds, a few ASE's, a Gough Island Bird Series, some Falkland Island ones plus a heap more from all over. I might start taking pictures of them, but it'll be a huge undertaking. I suppose if I just do the 'Bird' side, it will only be half the task.

If you don't mind I'll do some more. How many coins have a bird on both sides? I have at least one.  The "Bird of the Year" logo on the obverse, and the 2010 recipient of the award, a kestrel, on the reverse. That's a Belarus ruble, by the way. |

I've often seen some Bird Coins from Belarus, but most of the time they were a bit expensive. Lovely coins though.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Nice! I really liked the falcon and pelican coins. Eagles are getting boring now.

I also have very stylized birds from Belarus:  "The legend of the Stork"  "The legend of the Cuckoo"  "The legend of the Lark" I also have The legend of the Turtle from this series but that one wouldn't fly in this thread.  |

Those bellarus coins are proofs of circulating coins ?
Their design is excellent :)

Those are proof.
Belarus never issued circulation coinage, only banknotes.
