Description

Celebrate the majesty of North America’s most iconic bird with the 2014 $20 Perched Bald Eagle Pure Silver Coin, a beautifully crafted proof release from the Royal Canadian Mint. Struck in 99.99% pure silver and enhanced with selective gold plating, this one-ounce collectible brings to life the power, grace, and dominance of the Bald Eagle—Canada’s largest bird of prey and a lasting symbol of vision and strength.

This stunning design by Canadian artist Claudio D’Angelo captures a rare moment of stillness in the Bald Eagle’s intense daily cycle. With wings fully extended, the eagle has just returned from the hunt, landing on a pine branch with a freshly caught fish clasped securely in its talons. Gold plating highlights the eagle, the fish, and the rim, creating dramatic contrast against the engraved proof background.

Part of the Royal Canadian Mint’s celebrated 2014 Bald Eagle series, this coin marks one chapter in the story of a day in the life of this apex predator—resting, soaring, hunting, and returning with the day’s catch. With a worldwide mintage of just 8,500, and housed in the classic RCM maroon clamshell with COA, this piece is a must-have for wildlife, nature, and Canadian coin enthusiasts.
