2014 – $5 1/10 oz. Pure Gold Coin – Bald Eagle
A day in the life of the Bald Eagle is filled with activity from dusk until dawn and beyond. From the moment it awakens, the eagle is at work—tending to its nest, soaring high, hunting, feeding its young, and taking pause to eat and rest. Now, while he is at rest, let’s take a moment to study this apex hunter’s fearsome countenance. Dominated by a massive, sharply curved yellow beak, the adult eagle’s distinctive head is covered to the neck with long, smooth white feathers. The arrangement of the feathers above its large golden eyes gives the adult eagle a frowning appearance that is perhaps a factor in the bird’s symbolic associations with power. The most important attribute on this iconic head, however, is the eyes. It is this gifted vision that empowers the eagle to spot relatively small prey underwater or in grassy plains while soaring hundreds of metres in the air—despite these prey animals’ natural camouflage.CompareProduct added!

2014 – $250 2 oz. Pure Gold Coin – Canadian Contemporary Art
Explore Canada as you’ve never seen it before with this captivating coin that draws you in to discover more than 50 images that are Canadian icons in their own right, or reflective of the artist’s personal Canadian experiences—like time spent under the Yukon’s midnight sun, as shown within the centre of this coin. These images are reminiscent of comic book illustrations, but that’s where their similarity to comic books ends. Instead of being linear they spiral out from the centre, inviting you to create your own adventure as you search for the initials of the province or territory you call home. What else will you find? Canadian fauna and flora; First Nations culture and art; historic portraits and images; and various logos. Every time you explore this coin, you will see something new.$4,276.18 Add to cartCompareProduct added! Browse WishlistThe product is already in the wishlist! Browse Wishlist -
2014 – $1 fine silver – 100th Anniversary of the Declaration of First World War
When Britain declared war on Germany on August 4, 1914, its entire Empire was drawn into the conflict, including Canada and Newfoundland. Across the Dominion, men flocked to recruiting stations. Within two months, Canada’s pre-war militia that included a standing army of 3,110 men had grown to 33,000. Many were recent British immigrants or native-born Canadians of British origin, but among them were also more than 1,000 French Canadians, many First Nations as well as many others from diverse ethnic backgrounds. Five hundred soldiers from the British colonies of Newfoundland and Labrador also joined the ranks, while some 2,500 women stepped forward to serve as nurses. Train stations across Canada became the stage for tearful goodbyes and lingering embraces. The First World War was a true coming of age for the young nation, and the hope, fear, courage and deep sacrifice Canadians felt 100 years ago remain as poignant and inspiring today.CompareProduct added!

2014 – Canada Fine Silver Proof Set – 100th Anniversary of the Declaration of the First World War
“The War to End All Wars” shaped the world and defined Canada’s place within it. It was a monumental chapter in this nation’s history, touching countless lives. Men and women. Young and old. And its impact has reverberated across time, from generation to generation for 100 years. On August 19, 1914, The Right Honourable Sir Robert Borden, Prime Minister of Canada, famously declared that “we stand shoulder to shoulder with Britain” as Canada formally joined the Allied declaration of war against Germany at the outbreak of the First World War.CompareProduct added!
