The new 2 oz Canada Goose is one of a kind, inspired by a classic design by Canadian artist Alex Colville that originally appeared on the 1967 dollar marking Canada’s Centennial.
The Canadian Goose, which is internationally recognized as a Canadian emblem, is a national symbol for bravery, loyalty, confidence, protection, and determination. This fine 2 oz Silver coin contains 2 oz of fine .9999 Silver, has a face value of 10 Canadian dollars and can be used as legal tender. Its slick design, level of detail, relief, and solid feel make it a truly beautiful coin. Buyers can have peace of mind knowing their investment is authentic and secure as it is backed by the renowned Royal Canadian Mint.
For centuries, flocks of Canada geese flying overhead have signaled the changing seasons, a fixture so deeply rooted in the Canadian psyche that artist Alex Colville proposed the Canada goose and its “serene, dynamic quality” for the Centennial Dollar in 1967. This coin features Colville’s design that highlights the goose’s strong, streamlined body that enables it to fly great distances. Numerous geese will fly together in a V-formation to create air currents the geese can ride to save energy and travel as much as 1,000 km in a single day!
