2019 - $30 - 2 oz. Pure Silver Coloured Coin - Birds in the Backyard

A backyard feeder or birdhouse is our way of putting out the welcome mat for our winged friends! Bird watching is one of the easiest ways to observe Canada's wildlife. By attracting birds to our outdoor spaces, we can learn more about our avian neighbours—from their colour variations or their different calls. This simple viewing activity can provide hours of enjoyment, and every visit is a treasured moment. This 2 oz. pure silver coin invites you to a special backyard gathering. While our popular bird-themed coins often highlight one species at a time, this engraved piece brings together several different birds in one image. Selective colour highlights a few leaves of the catalpa tree. But all eyes are on the true stars of this design: the blue jay, the downy woodpecker, the northern cardinal and the purple martin—four of Canada's famously colourful birds.

A beautiful 2 oz. pure silver coin featuring your favourite birds at a birdfeeder!
