2014 Canada $20 Baby Animals - Atlantic Puffin Silver (#2) (No Tax)

The Royal Canadian Mint celebrates Canada's young wildlife with this beautiful proof coin with colour - the second in a series of baby animals - which features a puffin chick with its mother in a natural setting near the sea.

The reverse image by Canadian artist Glen Loates features a young puffin with its mother along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. A side profile of the chick allows for a full view of the soft, dark-coloured down that covers its head and back, along with its bright white chest and its webbed feet. The chick is nestled among the grasses and flowers where it awaits its meal; on the right, the adult puffin stands next to its offspring, its bill clasping the small fish that will provide nourishment for the chick. Selective colour enhances the young puffin's engraved features; in the background, the bright green of the grassy cliff tops stands in contrast with the red and white lighthouse.
