2021 Canada $20 Colourful Birds - Blue Jay Fine Silver (No Tax)
With its blue feathers and distinguished air, the blue jay stands out wherever it goes—and it certainly does on this coin. The engraved design pairs the lively songbird with another Canadian treasure, the maple leaf, and adds selective colour to show the two at their colourful best.
The reverse design by Canadian artist Tony Bianco features an elevated view of an engraved park setting, where a stone path leads to a footbridge. In the foreground, the blue, black and white feathers of the blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) make it easy to spy the colourful songbird perched among the red and gold sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leaves. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
