The distinctive red plumage of the Northern Cardinal adds vibrance to the landscape in any season, while on a winter day it is a breathtaking sight to lift our spirits.

The design by Canadian artist Tony Bianco features tranquil winter scene after snowfall. A snow-blanketed house on a hill appears in the engraved background.

In the foreground, a bright red northern cardinal is perched on a bittersweet branch in a spruce tree. Mintage is limited to 7,500. Composition 99.99% pure silver with selective colour. Brighter is better: Those crimson-coloured feathers are key to mating success for the male, whereas the female is a more subdued mix of tan and grey colours.

Male cardinals are rather territorial: they can mistake their reflection for a possible intruder and may spend hours fighting this imagined threat! Canada's northern cardinal population is steadily increasing thanks to backyard feeders (cardinals love sunflower seeds). The year-round resident was largely limited to southeastern regions of Canada but recently, it has been spotted as far west as Manitoba and east in Newfoundland and Labrador.
