Product Overview
This 2015 $10 pure silver coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint is part of the colourful songbirds of Canada series. The design offers a close view of the Baltimore oriole's famous features. As pure silver coin struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, this item is GST/HST exempt.
Selective colour highlights the vibrancy of this beautiful songbird. Its solid-black colour carries from its head through to its wings where it mixes with bold white markings, then down to its orange-tipped tail. But it's the bird's blazing orange underparts that catch the viewer's eye, betraying its presence amid the engraved foliage of a wild plum tree. The front is engraved with the word "Canada," the date "2015," and the face value of "10 dollars."
The Baltimore Oriole
Baltimore orioles are medium-sized songbirds with thick necks and long legs. Look for their long, thick-based, pointed bills, a hallmark of the blackbird family they belong to. Adult males are orange and black, with a solid black head and one white bar on their wings. Females and young males are yellow-orange on the breast, greyish on the head and back, with two bold white wing bars.
Baltimore orioles are more often heard than seen as they feed high in trees, searching leaves and small branches for insects, flowers and fruit. Look for Baltimore orioles high in leafy deciduous trees, open woodland, orchards, parks and in backyards.
