Introduced in 2014, the Royal Canadian Mint Birds of Prey Silver Coin Series is composed of 4 finely crafted silver bullion coins struck in the same 99.99% pure silver bullion. All 4 silver coins have a limited mintage of 1,000,000 coins per design and were released over a two-year period. They have become a favorite amongst silver coin collectors and silver bullion investors alike.
Celebrating Canada’s rich and abundant wildlife, the four different bird species that are represented in the collection include the 1 oz Silver Peregrine Falcon Coin, 1 oz Silver Bald Eagle Coin, 1 oz Silver Red-Tailed Hawk Coin, and the 1 oz Silver Great Horned Owl Coin. Each 1 oz silver bullion coin beautifully portrays the birds in their native Canadian habitat.
The obverse of all the coins feature the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the year of mintage and a Canadian legal tender face value of CAD $5.
Each Canadian Silver Birds of Prey Coin is individually encapsulated to preserve its condition and is presented in an elegant leatherette box with a white silk lined lid.
