Stamps and coins are two of the world’s most enduring collectibles and they are brought together in this set to highlight the nurturing bonds that exist between wilderness parents and their offspring. A full-colour booklet completes each of these highly collectible and informative sets.

Formerly known as the "duck hawk", the Peregrine Falcon can be found just about anywhere in the world, with the exception of the most remote and harshest regions. In North America, this majestic bird will make its home on the ledge of a city skyscraper as readily as it will nest high on a rugged rocky cliff.

Canada is home to three subspecies of Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus pealei, F.p. anatum and F.p. tundrius). They look similar but differ slightly in size and colouration. The pealei subspecies is the largest and darkest and lives throughout coastal British Columbia.• Steel engraving by Jorge Peral, based on the illustration and design by Dwayne Harty.

• Printed in six-colour lithography with two additional steel engraved colours.

• Special security features and phosphor tagging are also incorporated as part of the panting process.

Canadian wildlife artist, Dwayne Harty, designed this coin that depicts a regal falcon tending her nestlings. The obverse of each coin bears the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by artist Susanna Blunt.

The set comes in a handsome wood presentation case.
