Sunday Stamps & Coins ~ “Flying Squirrel”
Let’s go back to 1988, a series of stamps designed to highlight nocturnal animals. Animals that like to come out at night. The first is the “flying squirrel”. I’ll be honest, I have never seen a flying squirrel. Plenty of regular squirrels, but none that flew. In the second photo we have a Porcupine, best to stay away from these fellas or it’s quill time. The last is the Muskrat. It does sort of look like a gigantic rat, therefore my least favourite of the 3. Which is your favourite?

Today’s highlighted coin is the new 2025 Canadian Maple. This is one of Canada’s most well known coins, and is a favourite worldwide for collectors, as many of you know. 1 oz of pure silver with a face value of $5. King Charles is now the official royal on our coins since 2024.

Of course, look it up..God has created millions of species…
Lol we know flying squirrels do not exist but, that's a beautiful design. I don't know the reason why they choose to make such designs but it looks nice
They don't actually "fly", but a better word would have been "glide". Gliding Squirrel. Never seen one, but they do exist.
Such cool stamps and some awesome silver. What a great post! At first I thought the flying squirrel was a shark before I opened up your post! I love animal coins and stamps, right up my alley on this one. That is a nice Maple Leaf you have there, they are really pretty coins!
I didn't realize myself it was a flying squirrel until looking closer too, the stamp is quite small actually. Need to load up on a few more of them maples. Thanks for stopping by.
