Today we will continue the series called "Canadian Wildlife".
The Royal Canadian Mint is known by its high quality work and the enormous number of commemorative coins issued each year. Among these commemoratives we find many, individual or in series, under the theme "wildlife".
Canada, with its vast lands and seas, is the home of a varied fauna and that will be showed in this series.
I will try to post land animals, sea animals and birds, in that order.
The third is a 2006 CAD $5 "Peregrine Falcon and Nestlings".
This coin is in the "Canadian Wildlife" Series, a coin and stamp series which was issued jointly by the Royal Canadian Mint and Canada Post to pay homage to Canada's diverse wildlife.
It weights 28g with silver purity of 99.99% and Proof finish. The mintage was 7.226 units. The issue price was CAD $49.55.
The reverse shows a Peregrine Falcon and Nestlings and it was designed by Dwayne Harty and engraved by José Osio.
