About
WOW! 3D Canada goose arches over engraved design! Order today!
It is a harbinger of spring and autumn in Canada. Travelling alongside others in a V formation, the Canada goose makes its presence known with an exuberant chorus of honks that is likened to musical chatter. Branta canadensis is easy to recognize, with a long neck that gives it an elegant profile; coming in on outstretched wings, this iconic waterfowl gracefully descends with an ease that belies its size as it lands feet first—and always into the wind!
Firmly affixed to your coin, the charismatic Canada goose is spellbinding as it splashes down, adding yet another layer of artistry to an already richly detailed design! Order your coin today!

Design:
Designed by Royal Canadian Mint engraver Matthew Bowen, your coin features a three-dimensional rendering of a Canada goose (Branta canadensis) over an engraved background. The uniquely shaped element is the product of a combined printing and embossing process known as thermoforming, which colourfully re-creates the large-sizedwaterfowl's distinctive appearance in great dimensional detail. Firmly affixed to the coin'ssurface, the goose arches above the design to simulate its arrival in a lake setting, where several other members of the flock are already paddling abouton the water. The goose's long neck is curvedforward as it uses its feet to break, creating a splash of water that conveys the swiftness of its descent.
Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box.
