Description
Take Flight with North America’s Magnificent Bald EaglesEveryone knows that the Bald Eagle is the national bird of the United States. It appears everywhere from coins to flags to 4th-of-July car advertisements. But it’s also a uniquely North American bird of prey with a range not just over all of the lower 48 states, but across Canada and Alaska as well. In fact, British Columbia on Canada’s west coasts boasts the second largest Bald Eagle population in the world trailing only in Alaska in total numbers!
It’s no surprise then that the Royal Canadian Mint chose the Bald Eagle as the subject of a spectacular new one-ounce silver coin struck in pure 99.99% silver. The 2018 Canada Magnificent Bald Eagles One-Ounce Silver Proof pays tribute to Canada’s largest bird of prey with a classic design that deftly captures the Bald Eagle’s indomitable spirit. The design on this legal-tender proof actually shows three Bald Eagles in various poses. The detail is so exquisite that the eyes of each eagle seem to pop off the surface of the coin!
Besides Alaska and Canada, Bald Eagles have been sighted in all 48 contiguous states and as far south as Mexico. With an estimated 70,000 birds, more than half of the world’s total Bald Eagle population lives in Alaska. The second most populous region is in British Columbia with 20,000 eagles. Bald Eales are most numerous outside of Alaska and British Columbia in Florida, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
