HERALDIC LANDSCAPE: BIRDS OF CANADA

It is a powerful portrait of Canada formed by some of our most notable emblems and heraldry.

Meticulously crafted in 5 kilograms of luminous 99.99% pure silver, this collector’s item from the Royal Canadian Mint features a new rendition of the Arms of Canada, redrawn by the artist behind the arms’ present official design: Cathy Bursey-Sabourin. The coin’s large diameter (180 mm) allows the viewer to appreciate all the intricacies of the heraldic design, rivalled only by the elaborate border in which the birds of Canada—all 13 provincial and territorial emblems—are paired with heraldic division lines to form a stirring representation of the Canadian landscape. 

➢ New rendition of the Canadian Coat of Arms. This coin’s 180 mm diameter provides ample space for a new rendition of the Canadian Coat of Arms, which has been redrawn to fit a circular format—a Mint first!
➢ A celebration of heraldry and emblematic art, this 5 kg 99.99% pure silver coin presents a powerful pictorial representation of the Canadian landscape.
➢ From the artist who drew the present official design of the Canadian Coat of Arms: Cathy Bursey-Sabourin.
➢ In heraldry, all details are significant—even the smallest line. This coin’s reverse features a complex design and very finely engraved details that stand out thanks to the use of intricate frostings.
➢ Comes with a special certificate in a booklet format and enclosed in a wooden presentation case.
