2014 $20 Bald Eagle Silver Coins in Canadian Mint Subscription

Still available from the Royal Canadian Mint is a subscription for three unique 2014 $20 Bald Eagle Silver Coins. The subscription was initially released earlier in May but was unavailable to online ordering for much of the month.

Three one-ounce silver coins in the highest purity are included in the subscription with each presenting a different view of the majestic bird.

"The arrangement of the feathers above its large golden eyes gives the adult eagle a frowning appearance that is perhaps a factor in the bird’s symbolic associations with power," describes the Royal Canadian Mint’s website on the 3-coin subscription page.

"The most important attribute on this iconic head, however, is the eyes. It is this gifted vision that empowers the eagle to spot relatively small prey underwater or in grassy plains while soaring hundreds of metres in the air despite these prey animals’ natural camouflage."

These three silver coins offer a view of a bald eagle in the midst of its hunt. The natural habitat of the bald eagle ranges throughout most of North America from Alaska down to the northern parts of Mexico. Described as a ‘sea eagle,’ the bird is typically found near large bodies of water where it finds a majority of its prey. Bald eagles are not actually bald but were given the name because of the white feathers on their head can make them appear bald.
