DESIGN:
This $10 coin is 99.99% pure silver, with a diameter of 34 millimetres and a metal weight of 15.87 grams. The reverse design by Canadian artist Jean-Charles Daumas presents an image of a Canada goose in its natural habitat, its wings outstretched in a stance expressing dominance or warning. Viewed from the back with its beautiful wings rendered in fine detail, the goose looks out across marshy waters, its long neck and graceful black head held high. It stands on its legs with its black-tipped white tail raised above the water. Marsh reeds dot the water on both sides of the goose and poke from the water’s surface in the background. The reverse is engraved with the word “CANADA,” the date “2014,” and the face value of “10 DOLLARS.” The outer frame of the image also features a miniature stylized Canada goose head. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
