This Spectacular 1 Oz Silver Coin Enjoy a close up view of this rare natural scene. THE REVERSE image features a female bald eagle protecting her two young eaglets in their treetop nest. The female eagle dominates the centre of the image.

Viewed from behind, her left eye turned warily to the viewer, she raises her long left wing in a protective stance. Her snowy tail feathers, dark body and distinctive head are engraved in stunning detail.

The mother sits at the edge of her large nest, which is nestled among the boughs of a high treetop. The intricate weaving of twigs and branches is rendered in painstaking detail and accentuated with a combination of polishes.

The head and tail of the mother as well as the delicate feathers of the baby birds, have been given a soft matte finish that stands proud against the brilliant polished background. Every detail has been considered and selectively treated to deliver the best possible finish.

This coin also features unique edge lettering, with the words "FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR 1 OZ" engraved around the edge of the coin. Susanna Blunt is a Canadian artist specializing in portraiture.
