COIN HIGHLIGHTS
- Ships individually in protective packaging
- Consisting of 1.5 oz of 9999 Fine Silver

- Obverse: Features an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, her name and title initials, the legal tender value of the coin against a background consisting of fine radial lines
The obverse is struck with the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and carries a higher face value of CAD 8 to reflect the increased silver content of the coin over a regular 1 oz coin.
The reverse features a falcon in mid-flight. Falcons are able to fly at extremely high speeds due to the unique shape of their wings. They are one of the few birds of prey that kill with their beak instead of their feet as seen in hawks and eagles.
These coins make a wonderful addition for both collectors and investors alike. They are the same diameter as standard issue RCM silver coins, but 50% thicker.
