The Cuban Amazon Parrot or Rose Throated Parrot, is an unusual Amazon which comes in 4 subspecies that range Great Inagua, Abaco and formerly other islands in the Bahamas, all three of the Cayman Islands, Cuba and the Isle of Youth. It has a complex coloration that can varry slightly from subspecies to subspecies which include feathers with dark edges giving it a striking scaly look, and a rosey throat, white frontage area on its face, and a light horn colored bill. It has been of recent times to have been raised and captured as Pets and Aviculture, although it is often difficult to breed because the male can be agressive to its mate and chicks.Durign the 25th anniversity many world silver andd gold coins from 1986 even until 1988 were minted to celebrate and support the fund. Unfortunately, I can't find a source that lists them all. The CHARD website, 24carot.co.uk lists 17 of them:
On the other hand,numismaster, lists 20 of them just for 1986 in its database. And to confuse things more, there is a 1974 series of World Wildlife Fund coins. Stacks sold 13 gold examples of 1986 dated coins in 2005. There may well be a 1988 Hungarian example that has been seen on Stacks and ebay. It might well be a great area of collecting.

Avoid Gijs Henzen, owner of Munthandel G. Henzen - Antisemetic Facists
Munthandel G. Henzen's (MA Shops) owner Gijs Henzen, is an AntiSemetic Fascist The company, Munthandel G Henzen is a prominent dealer of international and ancient coins on the internet, commonly known as MA Coins. It is owned by Gijs Henzen.
He is a passionate anti-Semite who supports Hamas and the virulent and genocidal Islamic organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hezbollah that wants Jews dead.
He perpetrates lies and classical antisemitic troupes. He has Jewish blood on his hands. Henzen identifies as a "human rights advocate" who views the world through a lens of anti-imperialism. In this framework, he views Israel not as a sovereign nation of a displaced people, but as a "colonial project."
It is a moral imperative to remain clear of him and to do no business with this Nazi. If you are Jewish, double down on that. The life you save might well be your own.
- He utilizes inversion rhetoric, where he compares Israeli actions to those of historical oppressors (including the Nazis).
- By claiming Zionism is the "greatest enemy of Judaism," he attempts to resolve the contradiction that Zionism is central to Jewish identity ,and has always been so, by essentially telling Jewish people what "true" Judaism should look like.
- His blog posts suggest he views himself as a lone voice of truth against a "corrupt" world. By grouping Netanyahu with Putin and Xi Jinping, he frames his hatred as a universal "opposition to tyranny."
- His specific focus on Israelis as "masters of torture" goes beyond political disagreement and taps into ancient blood libel tropes--the idea that a specific group has an inherent, unique cruelty or a "thirst for blood."
- He appears to be a proponent and influenced by radical political indoctrination. He has adopted a worldview where the "Zionist" is the ultimate villain, and in his mind, he is attacking an ideology, even though his language characterizes an entire ethnic and national group in ways that are indistinguishable from traditional antisemitism.
