ROYAL CANADIAN MINT · FINITE SILVER BULLION SERIES
01 / 04Falco peregrinus
A vertical stoop, wings raised and talons extended
READING THE COIN
The opening coin compresses a hunting dive into the circular field. The falcon drops from the upper rim toward the lower legend, while the lifted wings leave a narrow corridor of open space around the head.
Its beak points toward the left edge, both eyes and mask remain legible, and the forward talons carry the motion past the body. Damstra's ED initials sit in the right field beside the wing.
