Previous coin in series sold out! Order yours today!
The wood duck's Latin name, Aix sponsa, means "bird in wedding raiment." This stunning and colourful duck is well suited to its flattering Latin nomenclature: in fact, some bird experts consider it the most beautiful waterfowl in North America. Found throughout southern Canada in the warm summer months, this unique midsized bird is one of only a few North American duck species to nest in tree cavities.
This coin presents a unique opportunity to own a keepsake celebrating the 75th anniversary of Ducks Unlimited Canada. Order your coin today!

Design
Designed by Canadian artist Trevor Tennant, your full-colour coin features a Wood Duck breeding pair swimming in a pond at the onset of fall migration. Every detail of the male's unique colour pattern is majestically captured, his image beautifully reflected in the water. Beside him swims his female partner with her predominantly brown and white body, indigo and aubergine wing feathers and distinctive white eye markings. In the background is a dense group of green lily pads dotted with soft yellow water lilies. The reverse is engraved with the word "CANADA," the date "2013" and the face value of "10 DOLLARS."
Packaging
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell case lined with flock and protected by a black sleeve.
Melding the Royal Canadian Mint's world-renowned artistry and craftsmanship, this coin is a thoughtful gift for bird aficionados, conservationists, nature lovers and collectors of beautiful and unique coins. Order your coin today!

This coin has definitely met my expectations, it exhibits beautiful and accurate coloring on the pair of Wood Ducks with nice detail. With the recent drop in silver prices, I wish the RCM would have issued these "Duck" coins in a larger diameter coin, possibly even a 1 1/2 oz version that would really hit the mark. Other than that, it's a nice example and overall well done by the mint.

Unfortunately, i'll have to admire this coin in the picture. after being shut out of the original subscription, i was lucky enough to get the Mallard. Checked website everday for months awaiting this coin. Checked the morning of release with no update, then received e mail of new coins. went to site immediately to order only to find they are "awaiting stock". I'm not so naive enough to know this is the mints way of saying your out of luck. P.S. reviewed this the day of issue but Mint neglected to post - i guess they're only interested in positive reaction. Not impressed.

Second coin of the popular duck series at a little premium price. Both this and the 25-cent partner new coins are more attractive than the first one. The mint has listened to the public and beautful coins keep coming out. Just hope the mint did not forget their commitment to issue all other pretty series, not just the popular one.
