Two dainty and colourful birds of paradise, symbolize lovers surrounded by a multitude of flowers. During the mating dance, males show females the beauty of their plumage, and the "weaker sex" then chooses the appropriate male. These birds mate for life. Above them there is a red cubic zirconium in the shape of a heart. The inscription Love is Precious, finely minted in an ornamental framing, runs along the edge. The coin is packaged in a box with a gorgeous floral pattern depicting this beautiful bird. The appropriate certificate of authenticity can be found inside this package, it contains a quote by Khalil Gibran: "Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit."
