Obverse

The obverse of the 2020 Canadian Gold Red-Tailed Hawk Coin features a right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Designed by Susanna Blunt in 2003, this image of the Queen is notable for being the first on Canadian coinage to depict her without a crown.

Reverse

On the reverse, the red-tailed hawk is shown soaring through the sky, showcasing its impressive wingspan. These birds use their speed and precision to hunt, diving swiftly from above to capture small mammals with deadly accuracy.

History

Red-tailed hawks are highly adaptable raptors found throughout Canada. These birds prefer open spaces, including grasslands, woodlands, and even suburban areas where they can easily spot and capture their prey. Known for their sharp eyesight and exceptional hunting skills, red-tailed hawks play a key role in maintaining balance within the ecosystem.
