A soaring eagle is the very picture of serenity, but its descent is a lesson in strength and elegance. This king of the skies is at home in some of Canada's wildest and most magnificent landscapes, like the coastal setting on your coin. Engraving and colour technologies combine like never before to create a dazzling day-to-night transformation. Like a bright sunny day, your coin is filled with light and shadows—from the eagle's silhouette on the blue-enamelled water, to the frosted mountains in the distance. When viewed under a blacklight (included), the glowing sunset adds a colourful twist, while the trees and mountains cast long shadows that are suddenly visible on the water!
