Design:
On your coin's reverse, a bald eagle soars high above the coast in this dramatic design by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn. The eagle's wings are outstretched with power and confidence, every feather depicted in magnificent detail. Its flight feathers sweep across the lower portion of the coin, drawing the eye in, over the eagle's shoulder to its intensely focused profile and the shimmering water below. The viewer gets the sense they are soaring alongside this magnificent raptor with a privileged viewof the coastline and mountains in the distance. Andon your coin's obverse, a unique water designflows across the coin and around the effigy of HerMajesty Queen Elizabeth by Susanna Blunt with "ELIZABETH II D.G. REGINA" and "2020" engraved along the edge of the coin.
"I am fortunate to live in British Columbia where I often see bald eagles when I'm outdoors. It's easy to see why they symbolize strength and power. Watching these majestic birds soar overhead fills me with awe every time." Steve Hepburn, Artist
"I adore raptors and was thrilled to work on this coin featuring the bald eagle. They are amazing to watch as they fly with their massive wings outstretched. So powerful. So finely engineered. The artist nailed every detail!" Matt Eggink, Product Manager, RCM
