Few sights in nature are as spectacular as the blue and orange contrast of a kingfisher flying low and fast over the water. The characteristic marks of this bird come in vivid colors that make it stand out the fourth coin of the magnificent series of 12 pieces that glow in the dark, Colorful Creatures, which explores the wonderful world of wildlife.
A small bird, with a head and a large beak, kingfisher may not seem like the super-efficient predator that it really is, but the bird's eye is so good that kingfishers can perceive life underwater and their body in the form of torpedo allows them to dive with lightning speed. They hunt fish and aquatic insects on the banks of lakes and rivers.
Relatively widespread throughout Europe, the kingfisher's vulnerability to hard winters and the degradation of its habitat by pollution causes its population to be declining.
The obverse of this 3-euro coin shows a kingfisher perched, with his eye on a trout jumping, while the reverse depicts the bird among the silhouettes of the other 11 animals listed in the series of Colored Creatures.
For this series is used a face value (3 euros) that had never before been used by the Mint, in addition is legal tender in the country. For three years, one of these currencies is being issued, approximately every three months.
With a maximum circulation of 50,000 pieces, the coins are presented in special packages of ten coins, designed for distributors and individually for collectors.
