The reverse design by Canadian artist Claudio D’Angelo features a stunning side profile of a mountain bluebird in flight over an open meadow, where a nest box sits on a fencepost alongside a rocky stream. Finely detailed engraving gives this portrait a beautiful, life-like quality by recreating the songbird’s fine features, from its pointed black bill to the feathers of its tail and outstretched wings. Selective colour recreates the mountain bluebird’s most defining feature - its dazzling sky-blue plumage - and adds a vibrant, gem-like splash of colour against the engraved rolling foothills of the Rocky Mountains in the background.

Obverse: Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in profile facing right. This portrait, the fourth effigy of the queen to appear on Canadian coinage, was executed by the artist Susanna Blunt. The legend ELIZABETH II D. G. REGINA ("Elizabeth II, Queen by the Grace of God") also appears. The legend SILVER 9999 1 OZ ARGENT PURE 9999 guarantees the weight and purity.  

Packaged in a charming graphic beauty box, this coin adds a splash of nature’s bright colours to your nature, wildlife or bird-themed collection. As a gift, this valued collectible is sure to brighten up a nature enthusiast or bird lover’s day.
