From the Royal Canadian Mint’s renowned collection of coins featuring the wild animals of Canada, we are proud to present this 1/25-ounce gold bald eagle coin—a collectible keepsake of Canada’s natural beauty.
This 1/25-ounce coin is certified to be 99.99% pure gold with a diameter of 13.92 millimetres and a metal weight of 1.27 grams.
The reverse image by Canadian artist Trevor Tenant features a profile portrait of a bald eagle. Presenting the animal from its left side, the portrait features in striking detail the light-coloured head and dark upper wings and body of this majestic raptor. Its sharp hooked beak is open while its small, far-seeing left eye seems to glare authoritatively at the viewer. The varied textures and tones of the eagle’s feathers are captured through expert engraving and finishing.
The reverse is engraved with the word “CANADA,” the date “2013,” and the face value of “50 CENTS.” The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susannah Blunt.
