2026 | THE ODYSSEY OF THE SKY: MARTIAL EAGLE
Now in its second year, the Odyssey of the Sky is a 24 ct gold and fine-silver seven-coin series, now celebrating the exciting journey of the martial eagle (Polemaetus bellicosus).
 
The martial eagle is one of Africa’s largest and most powerful birds of prey. Its wingspan can be wider than the outstretched arms of an adult, allowing it to soar efficiently over open landscapes. Its plumage is dark brown on the upper body and lighter underneath, giving it a distinctive appearance in flight. Known for its exceptional eyesight, the martial eagle can spot potential prey from great distances, allowing it to effectively hunt across vast areas.
