Obverse

The obverse of the 2020 Canadian Red-Tailed Hawk Gold Coin displays Queen Elizabeth II in a right-profile portrait. This design by Susanna Blunt was introduced in 2003 and is unique among Canadian coinage, as it is the only depiction of the Queen without a crown. The inscriptions include ELIZABETH II, D.G. REGINA, and 5 DOLLARS.

Reverse

On the reverse of 2020 Red-Tailed Hawk 1/10 oz Gold Coins, the Red-Tailed Hawk is captured in mid-flight, wings outstretched as it soars through the sky. These birds rely on their sharp eyesight and agile movements to hunt efficiently, striking their prey with speed and accuracy. The inscriptions read CANADA, 2020, 9999, FINE GOLD, and 1/10 OZ OR PUR.

History

The red-tailed hawk is one of the most common birds of prey in Canada, capable of adapting to a variety of environments. These raptors can be found in forests, prairies, and even urban areas, using their sharp vision and swift flight to hunt small mammals with ease. Their ability to thrive in different habitats makes them one of the most successful predators in North America.
