Description:
This is the fourth installment in the robust 1.5-ounce silver coin series showcasing the captivating wildlife of the Canadian Arctic.
On the obverse, you’ll find the elegant effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, distinguished by a higher face value of $8 CAD. This denomination aptly reflects the increased silver bullion content of this coin compared to the more common 1 oz coins, which bear a $5 CAD face value.
The reverse side boasts a dynamic depiction of a falcon in mid-flight. Falcons, known for their exceptional speed facilitated by the shape of their wings, stand out as unique birds of prey. Unlike hawks and eagles, falcons utilize their beaks, not their feet, for hunting.
These coins prove to be a delightful addition for both collectors and investors alike. Maintaining the standard diameter of regular RCM silver coins, they distinguish themselves by being 50% thicker, and therefore 50% heavier.
