2019 $20 FINE SILVER COIN
REFLECTIONS: BALD EAGLE

1st coin of the series Reflections. 

The reigning king of the skies, the bald eagle is at home in some of Canada’s wildest and most magnificent landscapes — including the coastal setting on the reverse, where engraving and multiple colour technologies combine like never before to create an instant day-to-night transformation.

Set over Canada’s Pacific coastal waters, the reverse image by Julius Csotonyi evokes a sense of awe and reverence for both the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and its coastal habitat. The multi-layered design depicts a sunny, summer day along the rocky shoreline, where the engraved evergreen trees reach for the blue-coloured sky overhead. Talons at the ready, a bald eagle swoops low over the shallow water, where translucent blue enamel stands in for the sky’s reflection without obscuring the underwater view. When viewed under a blacklight, the same scene transitions to dusk, as a fiery sunset lights up the sky and casts longer shadows on the water. The reverse includes the word “CANADA”, the year “2019” and the face value, “20 DOLLARS”. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
