The reigning king of the skies, the bald eagle is at home in some of Canada s wildest and most magnificent landscapes including the coastal setting on the reverse, where engraving and multiple colour technologies combine like never before to create an instant day-to-night transformation.

SPECIAL FEATURES

• A GLOWING celebration of Canada s scenic wilderness and its largest bird of prey.
• NEVER SEEN BEFORE: The careful layering of engraved elements with colour technologies and a blacklight effect adds unprecedented complexity to a scene that can instantly transition from day to dusk.
• COMES WITH A BLACKLIGHT FLASHLIGHT: When viewed in the natural light, the reverse features a daytime scene filled with summer sunlight that heightens the colours of the sky and the eagle. When viewed under a blacklight (included), a glowing sunset dramatically paints the sky and adds longer shadows to the surface of the water below.
• TRANSLUCENT ENAMEL mimics the look of the blue sky reflecting on the water.
• COMPLEX ENGRAVING is a constant and brings the landscape to life, with different frostings that convey distance and mimic shade cast by passing clouds.
• STRATEGIC LAYERING: The water element brings all the technologies together, with shadows and a glowing sunset painted onto the transparent blue enamel, which colours the engraved underwater view.
• SIMPLY STUNNING: A gorgeous addition to any nature-, wildlife- or Canadiana-themed collection, and a spectacular gift for any art appreciator.

DESIGN

Set over Canada s Pacific coastal waters, the reverse image by Julius Csotonyi evokes a sense of awe and reverence for both the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and its coastal habitat. The multi-layered design depicts a sunny, summer day along the rocky shoreline, where the engraved evergreen trees reach for the blue-coloured sky overhead. Talons at the ready, a bald eagle swoops low over the shallow water, where translucent blue enamel stands in for the sky s reflection without obscuring the underwater view. When viewed under a blacklight, the same scene transitions to dusk, as a fiery sunset lights up the sky and casts longer shadows on the water. The reverse includes the word CANADA , the year 2019 and the face value, 20 DOLLARS . The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
