2022 $20 FINE SILVER COIN
COLOURFUL BIRDS: CEDAR WAXWING

2nd coin of the series Colourful Birds.

The star of the second Colourful Birds coin from the Royal Canadian Mint, the cedar waxwing has a distinctive appearance thanks to its slicked-back crest, black mask and silky yellow-brown feathers. This gregarious species loves to forage in flocks and can be found in all of Canada’s provinces and territories. It has an appetite for insects and small fruits, including those of the flowering crab apple tree featured in this nature-themed coin design.

 The follow-up to 2021’s Blue Jay! This selectively coloured 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin is a showcase of nature’s colours, with a special focus on a captivating bird that is commonly found in Canada’s urban and wild spaces.
 Selective colour. Selective colour highlights both the bird and its flowering perch, and transforms the design into a celebration of Mother Nature’s vibrant colour combinations.
 A close view. On the coin’s reverse, the eye-level view pulls the viewer into the scene and creates the impression that you’re standing right next to the bird.
 For nature lovers. Magnificently crafted in 1 oz. of 99.99% pure silver, this eye-catching piece is an ideal gift or addition to any Canadiana-, nature- or bird-themed collection.
