Revered since the Middle Ages, the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) is one of the most striking, beautiful, graceful aerial predators in the world. This iconic bird of prey is brought to life in fine detail on this pure platinum fractional collectable coin set. Known for its breathtaking displays of flight agility, the peregrine falcon can reach speeds over 300km/h while stooping, making it the fastest animal in the world. It is increasingly common in urban settings, having adopted tall buildings as cliff top nesting sites.
