Yes. The Royal Canadian Mint capped production of the Silver Canadian Bald Eagle at 1,000,000 coins.

The Silver Canadian Bald Eagle is the second release in the Royal Canadian Mint's four-coin "Canadian Birds of Prey" series, a collection celebrating Canada's wilderness and native bird species. Each coin in the series features a different bird of prey on the reverse, struck to the same .9999 fine silver standard.

Canadian artist Emily Damstra designed the coin's reverse, which depicts a bald eagle in flight, grasping a fish in its talons, rendered in detailed relief that highlights the bird's dark body and wings, white head and tail, and powerful legs. The obverse carries Susanna Blunt's effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Together, the two sides combine wildlife artistry with the coin's official Royal Canadian Mint pedigree.

The delivery of your metal is dependent on a variety of factors, including the quantity of metal, the time of your purchase, and other relevant details.

Upon receipt of payment and confirmation of reliable good funds, Monex will direct one of its independent shipping facilities to package and assign it to either USPS or UPS for delivery. You will then receive an email or a telephone notification of your shipment’s tracking number.

During periods of extremely high shipping volume, you will be notified if any delays are anticipated. Call a Monex account representative to learn more about estimated shipping times for your unique investment.
