The Birds of Canada series by the Royal Canadian Mint has captivated collectors and investors alike since its inception in 2007, with two stunning coins released each year. The 2012 release features the beautiful Evening Grosbeak, which achieved a rapid sell-out shortly after its release in late 2012. This rare coin has a limited mintage of only 20,000 coins.
- The Design:
- This coloured and intricately engraved coin depicts a vibrant male Rose-breasted Grosbeak gracefully perched on a maple tree branch.
About the Evening Grosbeak:
The Evening Grosbeak is a striking bird measuring between 16-22 centimetres in length. Recognized for its bright golden-yellow plumage, it is known for its vocal nature and remarkable ability to blend into its surroundings. The adult bird features a short black tail, prominent black wings, and a large pale bill, making it a unique sight in the wild. Complete with a full-colour image of the Evening Grosbeak, the Certificate of Authenticity adds to the value of this collectible coin.
