These collection-worthy 1 oz Silver Peregrine Falcon Coins are minted with a limited release of 1 million silver coins.
It is the first of four coins in the Royal Canadian Mint's exciting new Birds of Prey series, a follow-up to the popular Canadian Wildlife Series. The peregrine falcon is one of the most striking, beautiful and graceful predatory birds. Achieving speeds of over 300 km/h (200 mph) in aerial dives, this crow-sized bird is the fastest animal in the world.
The back of this .9999 fine silver coin bears the image of a peregrine falcon in mid-air attack designed by the Canadian artist Emily Damstra. A portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt appears on the front surface of this legal tender coin.
