The vibrancy of the bird's colour is captured using selective colour set against a brilliant silver background.  The music of the bird is also captured with a musical display case beautifully rendered with the image of the bird.  When the case is opened, enjoy the harmonious sounds and songs of the Violet-Green Swallow. Mintage is 15,000 coins. As a pure silver coin struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, this item is GST/HST exempt.

The Design:

The design features a side profile which captures the stunning plumage of its iridescent blue-hued feathers and violet tail, perches on a branch of a western tree lichens. The front of the coin is engraved with the word “CANADA,” the date “2015”, and the face value of “10 DOLLARS.”
