$2 and $10 commemorative coins in its five-year flora and fauna series.

The $2 coin, which is legal tender in Bermuda, comes in two designs -- one featuring the eastern bluebird (sialia sialis) (pictured above) and the other features the Bermuda cedar (juniperus Bermudiana).

Both designs, captured in sterling silver and finished in "proof'' quality, are available individually or as a two-coin set.

The $10 gold "uncirculated'' coin features the eastern bluebird on the reverse.

All three coins bear Raphael Maklouf's portrait of the Queen and the inscription "Bermuda, Elizabeth II'' on the front.

Priced at $40 for individual silver-proof coins, $75 for silver two-coin set and $75 for the $10 gold uncirculated coin, the coins are available from coin dealers, banks, the General Post Office and The Bermuda National Trust.
