Design:
Designed by Tony Bianco, your coin offers a life-like representation of a convocation of bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) at a communal roostsite. A profile view allows for a close examinationof the eagle’s distinctive features and famous plumage, with all three raptors fixing theirpiercing gazes on something that lies just beyond the reverse. In a show of authority, two of the stately birds have turned their heads to glare at the possible intruder, while the sharp, hooked beak of the uppermost eagle is open to suggest a high-pitchedwarning has been issued. The reverse also includesthe engraved word “CANADA” and the year “2018”. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
Did you know…
- Breeding populations are concentrated in coastal British Columbia, where most of those wintering in Canada also congregate. Larger nesting populations are also found along the coast of Newfoundland and Cape Breton, N.S., as well as in the northern boreal forests that stretch from Northwestern Ontario to Alberta.
- While there are 59 species of eagles worldwide, thebald eagle is one of just two found in Canada (theGolden Eagle is the other), and the only species exclusive to North America.
- A bald eagle isn’t bald at all — it has roughly 7,200 feathers. Instead, its English name comes from “piebald,” meaning something that has patches of two different colours—a reference to the distinctive contrast between its dark brown-feathered body and white-feathered head.
- Adding to a metre-tall standing height, the bald eagle’s wingspan measures over 2 metres!
- The expression “eagle eye” is synonymous with keen eyesight, and for good reason: the eagle’s vision is about fourtimes more powerful than ours! Eagle eyes see in full colour and have two focal centres, allowing themto view in front and behind in a single glance.
Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a RoyalCanadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a blackbeauty box.
