THE BALD EAGLE: PORTRAIT OF POWER .9999 1 oz SILVER Proof coin 2013

The reverse image by Canadian artist Claudio D’Angelo features a stunning profile portrait of a bald eagle head. Viewed from its left side, the striking raptor fixes the viewer with its legendary gaze, its wide eye staring powerfully below its snowy feathered brow. The intricate patterns of its white head feathers are rendered in dimensional detail by Royal Canadian Mint engravers. The eagle’s sharply curved beak is open to highlight its pointed curve. The reverse image is engraved with the word “CANADA,” the date “2013,” and the face value of “20 DOLLARS.” This coin also features unique edge lettering, with the words “1 OZ FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR” engraved around the edge of the coin.
