This stunning two-ounce 2023 $30 Striking Bald Eagle coin from the Canadian Mint has an extraordinarily low mintage of only 4,500 pieces. The impressive wildlife design displayed on a large 50 mm legal tender coin captures the majesty of the bald eagle, capturing a picture-perfect moment in the wild and shows a bald eagle pair mere seconds after landing on a pine bough. The posthumous transitional effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date 1952- 2022 of her reign.
This coin is an absolute rarity certified in perfect PF70 Ultra Cameo First Day of Issue by NGC. The coin is hand signed by wildlife artist Claudio D’Angelo, the designer of the coin. His initials are engraved on each coin. The extraordinarily low mintage, visually striking bald eagle design, iconic Queen Elizabeth posthumous effigy and designer signature make this a crowning achievement of any silver coin collection.
