Product Description
2015 Canada Silver Red-Tailed Hawk $5 Brilliant Uncirculated .9999 fine Silver 1 Troy oz, Birds of Prey Series.
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. Each design is limited to a mintage of 1,000,000.
These coins feature Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse with "Canada 5 Dollar" underneath, and a red-tailed hawk on the reverse swooping in for the kill.
The Red-tailed Hawk is the most common hawk in Canada, and one of the largest anywhere. They have broad, rounded wings and a short, wide tail with a variety of browns on top and light-colored below, with a cinnamon-red on the top of their tails.
They are frequently seen soaring in wide circles above open fields. In strong winds they face into the wind and hover, searching the ground for prey.
Very limited quantities.
