What could be more thrilling than catching a glimpse of the bald eagle in flight? Here, the Royal Canadian Mint offers a coin that captures some of that awe-inspired feeling: a full troy ounce of 99.99% fine silver depicting the majestic bald eagle. The bald eagle is Canada’s largest bird of prey, and has symbolized speed, strength and power throughout Canada’s history. In addition to this, some indigenous North American cultures believe this this creature to be sacred and holy, a spiritual messenger between the gods and humans. This coin reflects the fierce stoicism of this regal bird, captured here mid-flight with its magnificent wings poised elegantly; the engravers at the Royal Canadian Mint have outdone themselves once again, not missing a detail in the feathers of the bird or in the fish grasped helplessly in his talons. This coin would make an excellent addition to any Canadiana or nature-themed collection, or gifted as a precious and symbolic keepsake.
