Canada Goose Silver Coin Designs and Specifications

Trevor Tennant designed the image shown on reverses of the silver coins which show an impressive Canada Goose in flight. The profile view of the bird offers the opportunity to see the large wing-span as it flies.

Reverse inscriptions include "20 DOLLARS", "ARGENT PUR FINE SILVER 9999", "CANADA" and "2014." Tennant’s initials of ‘TT’ can be seen to to the bottom right.

Susanna Blunt’s effigy of Queen Elizabeth II graces the obverse of each release. The portrait is surrounded by the inscriptions of "ELIZABETH II" and "D.G. REGINA."

The 7.96 gram coin equates to just over one-quarter ounce of silver, giving the coin a diameter of 27 mm. Each is struck to specimen quality and ships inside a protective sleeve attached to an illustrated card.
