Obverse

The obverse side of the 2020 Canadian Bald Eagle Silver Coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Canadian artist Susanna Blunt created this design in 2003, showing the Queen in right-profile relief without a crown, marking the fourth effigy of Her Majesty used on Canadian coinage. The inscriptions here include ELIZABETH II, D.G. REGINA, and 8 DOLLARS.

Reverse

On the reverse, this 2020 Bald Eagle 1.5 oz Silver Coin presents a bald eagle in action, swooping down toward water. Canadian bald eagles prefer tall trees for nesting, often near water, and some nests are used by successive generations until they grow to hundreds of kilograms. Their impressive wingspans and powerful builds make bald eagles skilled hunters along the coast. Inscriptions on this side include CANADA, 2020, FINE SILVER, 1 1/2 OZ, 9999, and ARGENT PUR.

History

Adapted to the Canadian environment, bald eagles often migrate south in winter but may remain where food sources are accessible year-round. Those in coastal areas have learned fascinating hunting techniques, including catching fish and occasionally seizing prey from other birds in mid-air.
