With its inquisitive gaze fixed to the ground, this side profile of a chickadee showcases the light and dark contrast of its soft, thick feathers.
Running across the coin is the chickadee's chosen perch: the snow-covered branch of a deciduous shrub. Five red Swarovski crystal elements are beautifully integrated into the design as bright red berries hanging delicately below - one of the few splashes of color amidst the whites and greys of a northern wintry landscape. Behind the chickadee, decorative snowflakes fill the background and add to the festive feeling.
Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clam-shell with a protect sleeve. Are also available for an additional charge. All of the coins offered in this listing are "unsearched". Many coin dealers "search" all coins when they are received from the Mint. They "cherry-pick" the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins. Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces. However, tilting the coin may resulting one side being slightly out of focus. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
