Birds of Prey Coins: Biannual Silver Coins

In 2014, the Royal Canadian Mint announced its intention to mint special edition silver coins featuring well known birds of prey. The exciting new series kicks off with the Peregrine Falcon one ounce silver coin, struck with .9999 purity and fashioned with an impeccable design. Only four coins will be produced in the Birds of Prey series, two in 2014 and two in 2015. The limited edition series builds on the early success of the Canadian Wildlife gold bullion which was also introduced in 2014 featuring the “Howling Wolf”. An awe-inspiring hunter, the peregrine falcon is one of the best-known of all birds of prey and is often seen hovering over fields and rivers waiting to pounce on field mice and waterfowl. Because of its incredible hunting technique and ferociousness the falcon has been used as a symbol of military aggression since the Middle Ages and can be found in the coat of arms of European nobility in England and France. In ancient times, it was considered the peregrine falcon carried messengers between humans and the spirit world. It is therefore often found carved into the totem poles of Native American Indians, but was also prevalent in Europe, China and most notably Egypt. The Egyptians considered the falcon, King of the Birds and is a powerful animal guide symbolising the rising sun. For the protection of investors, the Royal Canadian Mint only issue coins in the bird of prey series to licensed bullion dealers and do not sell them directly to members of the public. Given the limited numbers and one-off collectible series, the bird of prey silver coins promise to be a sound investment and a special gift.
