2019 Canada $20 The Eagle Feather Fine Silver (No Tax)

Strength. Peace. Wisdom. Honour. The eagle represents the noblest qualities a person can have. As a messenger to the Creator, its wing feathers deliver thoughts and prayers to the spirit world whenever the eagle takes to the skies.

The Royal Canadian Mint's first feather-shaped coin shows reverence to both the eagle and its feather — two symbols that have special cultural and spiritual significance to the First Peoples in Canada.

The eagle is depicted in a Northwest Coast style on the engraved reverse, where the eye hints at its sharp vision and intelligence. Its feather, which inspired the shape of this coin, commands great respect; whether worn, held high or held close to one’s heart, an eagle feather is a privileged gift that transmits strength and love while representing the highest honour.

The reverse design by Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw/K'omoks artist Andy Everson is an engraved side profile view of an eagle head, presented in the Northwest Coast formline style. Framed by the coin’s feather-shaped contour, the eagle’s ovoid eye and downward-curving beak are surrounded by variations of split-U forms that re-create the eagle’s facial features and feathers. The reverse also inspired the background pattern seen on the obverse, which features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Key Features:
• A specially shaped tribute to a great cultural icon, the eagle, whose feather inspired the coin’s shape, complete with grooves along the edges and an engraved feather shaft down the middle.
• Commanding attention, this fine silver coin shows reverence for one of the most important beings in Indigenous art, and for the sacred feather symbol that represents a spiritual connection.
• A piece of Northwest Coast art: On the reverse, the eagle’s head is illustrated in a Northwest Coast formline style. The traditional ovoid (eyes) and U forms were inspired by nature — especially the split-U forms that suggest feathers.
• Obverse pattern. To complement the engraved relief on the reverse, the obverse features a similarly styled pattern behind the effigy.

Packaging:
Specially shaped red clamshell case with black beauty box.
