Zambia White Winged Flufftail 1986 10 Kwacha Proof Silver Crown

Description

The White Winged Flufftail is a truly endangered bird native to Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Zambia, Rwanda, and South Africa. Population estimates for this species offer us only 700 and that number decreases every year. There have been no sightings of this lovely bird in Zambia for many years, but the country has honored it on this beautiful proof silver Crown; a poignant token of a people's hope and loss. If you are a birder or a world coin collector with an eye out for vanishing specimens then I point you to this beautiful Zambian world coin.
