Ruler of the Philippine forests

The Philippine eagle is one of the largest and most powerful eagles in the world – its wingspan exceeds two metres, and its shaggy crest gives it the look of a lion's mane. It lives only in the rainforests of the Philippines, is the country's national bird and one of the rarest birds of prey on Earth, with only a few hundred pairs left. P. De Greef chose it as the fourth hero of the Big Five of Asia series.

Coin design

On the reverse the eagle looks straight at the viewer, its head struck in ultra high relief so that it rises clearly above the surface of the thick 5-ounce coin. Every crest feather, the piercing eyes and the massive hooked beak have a clear, sculpted texture, with jungle leaves in the background. The antique finish brings out depth and detail. Around it are HAUT RELIEF, 5 OZ .999 AG, the year 2024 and the signature P. DeGreef. Each coin carries its individual number out of 999 on the edge.

The obverse features the coat of arms of Côte d'Ivoire with an elephant's head, palm trees and a rising sun, RÉPUBLIQUE DE CÔTE D'IVOIRE, the year 2024 and the face value 5000 FRANCS CFA.

Packaging

The coin comes in an elegant wooden box with a certificate of authenticity.

The Big Five of Asia collection

The series began with the Tiger (2021), followed by the King Cobra (2022), the Orangutan (2023), the Philippine Eagle (2024) and the Panda (2025), and it closes with the Completer coin (2026). Each coin is a high-relief masterpiece in its own right, and together they form one of the most striking sets on the market.

Gift idea

For a collector of wildlife coins and high relief, a bird-of-prey enthusiast or anyone who values strength and freedom. A spectacular display piece and a valuable addition to any collection.
