About
Specimen Set – Common Eider (2008)
A very collectible tradition, begun in 2004, continues this year with a unique tribute to another member of Canada’s diverse avian wildlife. The common eider is the largest duck in the northern hemisphere, found virtually anywhere along Canada’s eastern and northern coasts. The common eider is gregarious and may nest in colonies of 10,000 or more.
Highlights

This limited-edition coin greatly enhances the collectibility of a set which alsofeatures a distinctive finish of brilliant and frosted relief on a lined background. Previous bird-themed issues in 2005 and 2006 have sold out!
