2014 Canada $100 Majestic Bald Eagle ($100 for $100) Fine Silver (No Tax)

The majestic bald eagle - Haliaeetus leucocephalus - is Canada's largest bird of prey and the only eagle exclusive to North America. An apex predator with no natural enemies, the bald eagle has long been a potent symbol of vision, power and stoicism.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Claudio D'Angelo features an arresting image of a bald eagle in flight, its wings forward and claws flexed as it prepares to pounce upon prey below. Viewed from its left side, the fierce raptor is a portrait of power in motion. Its sharp, curved beak sits partway open while the eagle tilts its iconic white head slightly downward to fix its gaze on its quarry. Its dark body is curved in on itself as the eagle brings its strong legs forward, uncurling its sharp claws as it prepares to snatch up its prey. The eagle's tail feathers and vast wings are splayed and curved inward, slowing the momentum of the bird's incredible flight speed. This portrait is set against the eagle's natural habitat. The background features a remote waterway lined on the left by high foothills swathed in tall conifers. Distant in the lower right portion of the image lies a rocky shore dotted with pine trees.
