WOW! A multi-frame hologram on your 2 oz. coin shows a complete wing motion! Order today!
With the flap of its mighty wings, the golden eagle gracefully takes to the skies! This large raptor can reach flight speeds of more than 120 km/h, aided by finger-like flight feathers that reach into the wind for added lift and stability. But, this golden coloured bird can also cleverly conserve its energy by flying into thermals, where the warm updraft allows it to stay aloft for hours by simply gliding.
