Where heraldry meets natural majesty: Discover Canada through its fauna.
The follow-up to 2024’s Heraldic Landscape: Birds of Canada, this selectively gold-plated 5 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin presents a heraldic-inspired vision of Canada, told through its fauna. Thirteen animals, each chosen for its heraldic or historic significance to its province or territory, are arranged to lead the eye on a symbolic journey across the nation—from the Arctic down to the Pacific, through the mountainous west, across the heart of the prairies, into the mighty forests, and ending on the Atlantic coast.
Created by Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, the renowned heraldic artist behind the modern rendition of the Arms of Canada, this is a portrait of unity in natural diversity, where every detail bears the quiet weight of history and the enduring pride of place.
Canadian heraldry and wildlife, united in art.
