The Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, a 2007 colored 25 Cents coin from Canada.

The Royal Canadian Mint presents the 2007 Ruby-throated Hummingbird coin, the first in the colored 25-cent coins series exploring the birds of Canada.

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is the most common species that breeds in the eastern half of North America. Ruby-throats are intensely inquisitive and thus easily attracted to feeders, where males typically display aggressive territoriality toward rival hummers, other birds, and even insects such as bees, butterflies, and sphinx moths. They quickly become accustomed to human presence, and will swoop down to investigate red articles of clothing, possibly as potential food sources.

This beautiful coin features a colorful hummingbird coming to a standstill as it hovers in front of a flower.

Includes Capsule, Official Case, and Individually-Numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
