Product Overview
This five-piece $10 fine silver collection features images of the northern flicker, tufted titmouse, purple martin, nuthatch and chickadee.
Northern Flicker Fine Silver Coin
The image captures the delicate beauty of springtime in Canada's many forests. Returning to its breeding range after wintering in the south, the northern flicker is positioned vertically on a tree limb to allow a full view of its distinctively patterned plumage. Intricate engraving captures its likeness in outstanding detail, from the relatively long bill to the darker markings on its tail and upper wing feathers. Towards the base of the tree, selective colour adds a bright splash of colour to the woodland scene. Red, green, yellow and white paint beautifully recreate the three-leaf clusters of red trillium and white trillium, which carpet the forest floor each April and May.
Tufted Titmouse Fine Silver Coin
The design features a pair of tufted titmice delicately perched on the branch stubs of a flourishing birch tree. Facing the opposite direction, one titmouse presents its side profile while the other has its head turned for a three-quarter view. Meticulously engraving highlights the pointed crest atop each bird's head and the expressive facial features, while selective colour highlights the bright summer tints of a yellow birch, whose bronze bark complements the yellow-green leaves.
Purple Martin Fine Silver Coin
The design features a richly detailed, engraved portrait of a purple martin. Canada's largest swallow is viewed from below, its claws firmly gripping a stalk of foxglove. Its forked tail and long, slender profile give the martin an elegant air as it turns its head towards the left side of the coin, as though studying its surroundings for signs of insect prey. Selective colour conveys the soft glow of a warm summer morning, when the sun's early rays shine down upon the pastel-coloured tubular flowers that cast a gentle shadow behind them.
Nuthatch Fine Silver Coin
The design features a precision-engraved portrait of a female white-breasted nuthatch. This little songbird is positioned in a way that offers a side profile view of its facial features as it lifts its long bill upwards; meanwhile, an overhead view of its back and wing plumage reveals a patterned appearance artfully conveyed by the detailed engraving. Selective colour recreates the effect of sunlight alternately illuminating and casting shadows along the needled branch of a white spruce, where a cone provides a sense of the nuthatch's size.
Chickadee Fine Silver Coin
Designed by Canadian artist Jean-Charles Daumas, this coin deftly combines sumptuous colours and intricate engraving that leaves one with an appreciation for nature's beauty. The selective application of colour recreates the soft pink and white hues of the magnolia blossoms, which evoke a warm, sunny day in May. One can imagine the musical call of the black-capped chickadee filling the air as it sits perched on the branch; engraved in outstanding detail, the diminutive chickadee presents its right-side profile to allow the viewer to study its body shape and narrow tail.
