The alicanto is said to live in the Atacama Desert, where it devours the region's rich gold and silver deposits. Its plumage shines with a golden or silvery glow at night. Prospectors hope to follow a shining alicanto in the expectation that it will lead them to valuable deposits. According to legend, however, only those who can follow the bird unnoticed will be successful. If the alicanto notices that it is being followed, or if the pursuer is dishonest, its glow goes out or it leads the pursuer to an unfortunate end. The **Alicanto silver coin, limited to just 2,500 pieces worldwide**, is supplied in its original case and includes a numbered certificate of authenticity from the Perth Mint.
