This is an official sovereign silver coin guaranteed by the Canadian government.

The 4th release of the thick 1.5 ounce series of silver coins featuring wildlife of the Canadian Arctic.

The obverse is struck with the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and carries a higher face value of $8 CAD to reflect the higher silver bullion content of this coin compared with the more common 1 oz coins, which are denominated at $5 CAD face value.

The reverse features a falcon in mid flight. Falcons are able to fly at high speeds due to the shape of their wings. They are one of the few birds of prey that kill with their beak, and not their feet (as hawks and eagles do).

These coins make a wonderful addition for both collectors and investors alike. They are the same diameter as standard issue RCM silver coins, but 50% thicker (and thus 50% heavier).

All orders from Monument Metals are discretely shipped, fully insured, and guaranteed as described.
