The Design:
The design by Canadian artist Jean-Charles Daumas features the Canada goose in three-quarter profile set against the background of a forest-lined lake. Its head, cheek marking, long neck, and feathered body are engraved in great detail. The front is engraved with the word “CANADA,” the date “2014”, and the face value of “5 DOLLARS.”
The Canada Goose:
Canada Geese live in many habitats near water and grassy fields. They are drawn to lawns as they can digest the grass and feed their young while they have a clear view of any predators. For this reason they are often seen in parks, airports, and golf courses.
