Discover one of nature’s most dazzling jewels with the 2025 Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher 1oz Coloured Silver Proof Coin.

Measuring just 13 cm long, this tiny forest gem boasts a glowing golden-orange body, a deep violet crown, and brilliant cobalt-blue wings, earning it the nickname “The Jewel of the Forest.”

Struck in 1 oz of 99.99% pure silver with selective colouring, the coin shows the kingfisher perched on a moss-covered branch, surrounded by finely engraved foliage. The vibrant colour palette brings the bird to life against the brilliant proof finish, highlighting its striking plumage and delicate features. Issued by Ascension Island with a face value of $1, this limited-edition coin celebrates the rich biodiversity of Southeast Asia’s tropical rainforests.
