2017 Canada $10 Birds Among Nature's Colours Purple Martin Silver (No Tax)

2017 Canada $10 Birds Among Nature's Colours Purple Martin Fine Silver Coin (No Tax)

Known for their smooth gliding and morning song, purple martins (Progne subis) are happy to return time and time again to the nest boxes and birdhouses we put up for them! This avian "urbanite" is more common in the east than the west; but wherever it nests, the black-blue songbird is a delightful sight - particularly on the coin's reverse, where selective colour recreates the beauty of the martin's surroundings.
