Majestic Canada Goose: XXL silver coin with iconic design
In the clear Canadian sky, the majestic formations of Canada geese herald the changing of the seasons. These magnificent birds, which breed across the country and follow extensive migration routes from the Canadian tundra to the southern United States and Mexico, are a symbol of the pristine nature of North America. With the new 2025 silver coin featuring the Canada goose in its natural habitat, collectors can add a piece of this wildlife to their collection.
Background information
The Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) is one of the most recognizable symbols of Canadian wildlife. Its long migration routes and adaptability to different climatic conditions make it a fascinating bird. In recent years, climate change has altered its migration routes and more geese now winter in Canada or even breed in Greenland. As early as the 17th century, the Canada goose was introduced to Europe, where it is still a popular game bird today.
A similar motif appeared on the 1967 Canadian silver dollar commemorative coin issued to mark the 100th anniversary of Canadian Confederation. Alex Colville's classic design also depicted a Canada goose in flight and is considered a timeless masterpiece of numismatic art. This tribute to the majestic animal combines tradition with modern conservation features and brings a piece of Canadian history back into the world of collectors.
