If the Baltimore oriole’s happy whistling song doesn’t catch your attention in nature, its fiery orange plumage certainly will. A spring and summer resident of southern Canada, this energetic bird loves to perch high among the treetops in open woodland or along waterways, as illustrated on this selectively colored coin, where the male’s bold colors contrast beautifully with the more delicate hues of a flowering dogwood. The design by Canadian artist Tony Bianco is a springtime scene set in a rural area in southern Canada, where a small bridge lies over a meandering brook that winds past weathered barns in the engraved background. The selectively colored portion of the design re-creates the striking colors of a male Baltimore oriole among the cream-colored blooms of a flowering dogwood. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati. Mintage is limited to 7,500.
