In continuance with its tribute to the winged predators of Canada, the “Birds of Prey” series turns its attention to the bald eagle for its second coin. Although commonly thought of as the US’s national bird, this majestic creature is also quite prevalent up north, where it can often be seen soaring through Canada’s clear skies.
The eagle has been prominently displayed on the obverse of the coin with its wings spread in flight. In its talons, the predator holds a fish, which it undoubtedly snatched from a brook or stream for its most recent meal. Avian enthusiasts will find themselves impressed by the accurate depiction of this fierce fowl from the dynamic positioning of its flapping wings to the textured pattern of its feathers. Also engraved on the front side are the coin’s weight, purity and the name “Canada.”
The reverse side of the coin honors Canada’s history with an effigy of Elizabeth II. This portrait serves as a tribute to Canada’s former status under British rule. Encircling the Queen is a border of text, which includes her name along with the coin’s denomination and mintage year.
With the release of its second coin, the “Birds of Prey” series continues to generate great interest from both collectors and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
