I'm a bit partial to bird coins. Very nice!
I just Googled them & found this:
Gough Island is major bird sanctuary in the Tristan da Cuhna group. Gough Island recently issued a set of eight legal tender, each featuring a different bird. I sincerely doubt the coins circulate as the small island is only inhabited by about six people who man a weather station, along with thousands of birds. The sale of the coins help raise funds for the school and hospital on Tristan da Cuhna. The coins . Included in the set is a 39mm copper-nickel 1 Crown, bimetallic 25 Pence, brass 20 pence, copper-nickel 10 and 5 pence and bronze 2, 1, and 1/2 Pence, all dated 2009, struck by the Commonwealth Mint. The coins picture Queen Elizabeth on the obverse and bear the names of both Gough Island and Tristan da Cuhna.

Joel Anderson has tonnes of these coins from barely existent countries. He has none from my inane little duchy run by some fanatic though.
