The fascinating bald eagle(Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is Canada's largest bird of prey and the only eagle found exclusively in North America.
A dominant predator with no natural enemies, it has always embodied foresight, power and imperturbability.
As an adult, it has a wingspan of over two meters, measures around one meter erect and can weigh up to seven kilograms. The female is generally larger than the male. The bird of prey can be recognized by its dark brown body and white head, large golden eyes, bright yellow beak and massive yellow legs armed with sharp claws.
Interesting fact
The Bald Eagle coin is a non-circulating coin minted by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2024. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases a bald eagle holding a fish, which is not a common motif on Canadian coins. The coin's design is meant to symbolize the bald eagle's strength, power, and hunting prowess. Additionally, the coin's gold content and high level of detail make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
