This exquisite silver coin marks the sixth release in the Royal Canadian Mint’s acclaimed “Colourful Birds” series, celebrating one of the nation’s most resilient and spirited avian species: the Canada Jay. This year-round resident thrives across Canada’s vast boreal forests, from coast to coast and far into the North. Renowned for its inquisitive, bold temperament and remarkable intelligence, the Canada Jay effortlessly transforms the harsh winter wilderness into its personal sanctuary.
The reverse showcases an intimate, eye-level perspective of two Canada jays. One bird sits attentively on a pinecone-laden evergreen branch, while its companion is captured mid-flight, intricately detailed wing feathers. Selective colouration vividly highlights the soft grey-and-white plumage and rich green pine needles, creating a striking visual contrast against the background featuring a quiet rustic cabin. It also includes the artist Tony Bianco’s initials “TB”, country of issue, and year of issue. The obverse depicts the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, the King's name “CHARLES III”, face value and “D.G. REX”, which is an abbreviation for "Dei Gratia Rex," a Latin title meaning "By the grace of God, King”.
With a limited mintage of 7,500 coins worldwide. It is an ideal gift for bird lovers, collectors of nature-themed coins, and Canadian numismatics.
