Comment
An apex predator with no natural enemies, the bald eagle has long been a potent symbol of vision, power, and stoicism.The adult boasts a wing span of more than 2 metres, a standing height of about 1 metre, and an average weight of up to 7 kilograms. Females are generally larger than males. The renowned raptor is noted for its distinctive dark-feathered body and white-feathered head, large golden eyes, bright yellow beak, and massive yellow claws armed with sharp, powerful talons.
Special Features
Two unique features for cutting-edge security, including precise radial lines and a micro-engraved lasered maple leaf in the coin’s field. In the centre of this mark, visible under magnification, is the numeral “21”, denoting the coin’s year of issue.
Features the distinctive bullion finish of brilliant relief on a lined textured background.
Interesting fact
The Bald Eagle coin's obverse features a unique privy mark of a stylized maple leaf, which is different from the usual maple leaf design seen on Canadian coins. This privy mark was specifically designed for the 2020-2021 Bald Eagle coin to add an extra layer of security and authenticity.
