Comment
AboutThe epitome of strength and resilience in the wild, the bald eagle is a regal sight to behold on this magnificent 99.99% pure gold coin. The coin’s reverse presents an engraved take on Vantage Point – Bald Eagle, an inspiring work of art by world-renowned wildlife artist Robert Bateman. Just a glimpse of this bald eagle elicits feelings of awe, even as it quietly sits on its moss-covered perch, its body turned boldly into the wind blowing in from the sea.
Design
The reverse is an engraved adaptation of Vantage Point – Bald Eagle, an original work of art by Canadian wildlife artist Robert Bateman. It features a side view of a bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) perched on the moss-covered roots of an uprooted tree. The coin’s luminous silver surface stands in for the original painting’s misty grey sky, where the text “CANADA 2023” appears, while the artist’s signature is engraved beneath a denomination of “2500 DOLLARS”.
The obverse features a nature-themed pattern and the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
