Following on from the commercial success of the Canadian Wildlife Series struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, the mint has embarked on a 'Birds of Prey' series uncirculated collector coin.
These coins feature Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse with "Canada 5 Dollar" underneath, and a peregrine falcon on the reverse, portrayed in the striking position with wings outspread and talons extended for the kill.

The peregrine is used as a symbol of aggression and military prowess in many cultures, including the Native Americans of the Mississippian culture and the Western European nobility.
