The Canadian Birds of Prey Series from the Royal Canadian Mint was a massively popular release of wildlife-themed silver coins that followed the equally popular Canadian Wildlife Series. These collections ran back-to-back with the Canadian Wildlife Series available from 2011 to 2013 and the Birds of Prey in 2014 and 2015. The Birds of Prey earned an additional release with reverse proof versions of each design.

Acceptable flaws at this grade level include only minuscule contact marks or hairlines that must be located outside of the primary focal points of the coin. The included Early Release label denotes the arrival of these coins for grading. An ER coin is one that was received within 30 days of its initial release from the Royal Canadian Mint.

Obverse

The obverse face of 2017 Reverse Proof Canadian Bald Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the fourth-generation portrait of the Queen on Canadian coinage and debuted in 2003 from Susanna Blunt. The image is a right-profile bust of Her Majesty without a crown, the first such design for Canadian coins since the reign of King George VI.

Reverse

On the reverse side of 2017 Reverse Proof Canadian Bald Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins, you will find a strong bald eagle gliding through the sky as it carries its latest catch, a single fish, in its talons. The coins in the reverse proof Birds of Prey release have frosted background fields with mirrored elements overlaying the background.

History

This series featured six designs released in pairs from 2011 to 2013. The Birds of Prey followed that with four releases issued in pairs in 2014 and 2015. The Reverse Proof Birds of Prey Collection has the same four releases with reverse proof visuals released one at a time starting in 2016.
