A PROUD PORTRAIT OF CANADA’S LARGEST RAPTOR. Anyone will be proud to own this EHR coin and its compelling tribute to one of Canada’s most awe-inspiring wilderness residents, the bald eagle. On your coin’s reverse, Canadian artist Neil Hamelin has created a commanding ¾ portrait of a bald eagle looking across the coin’s field towards the right, its piercing gaze and hooked beak signature features of this regal raptor. The eagle’s feathers have a ruffled appearance with a greatly accentuated shape and texture that are portrayed with uncompromising depth and detail in the coin’s extraordinary high relief. The coin is struck with a proof finish that provides an impeccable mirror-like shine across the background to accentuate the depth and visual impact of the engraving and extraordinary high relief. And on the obverse, the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The bald eagle is the only eagle in the world that is found exclusively in North America. It lives throughout Canada, but is often associated with British Columbia’s temperate coastline where tall trees provide the perfect habitat and ice-free water provides a year-round supply of food. Bald eagles have an estimated 7,000 feathers arranged in several layers and can be rotated to increase/decrease their insulating effect to protect against heat, cold, snow and rain. Studies suggest the bald eagle can see up to 7 times farther than humans, and its brain compensates for light refracting through the water that makes it look like a fish, its favourite food, is in a different location. Its “angry” expression is created by the shape of its skull that shade’s its eyes from the sun. It even has a transparent inner eyelid for added protection, and bristles on its beak to keep dust at bay. Everything about the bald eagle is designed for hunting in flight. Eagle bones are hollow and lightweight, only 5-6% of their body weight compared to 12-15% for humans. The bald eagle’s wings are shaped to soar with minimal flapping, and it can flex and spread its flight feathers like fingers to get more lift.

I worked with the Engineer and the Product Manager to determine the optimal viewing angle, one that plays up the relief height so that the bison practically pops off the coin. Ultimately, we chose a three-quarter view that, coupled with extraordinarily high relief, best conveys the bisons enormous size while focusing in on its features. Eric Boyer, 3D Artist/Engraver.

Turquoise waters, snow-capped mountains and unparalleled alpine scenerythe beauty of Lake Louise is legendary, and this fine silver coin celebrates all the geographic elements that make it one of Canadas great treasures! Never before has the Canadian landscape been rendered so realistically as on this coins reverse. Its design features an overhead view of the Lake Louise area, and while Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR) technology sends the Canadian Rockies soaring to new heights, beautiful Lake Louise is unmissable thanks to coloured enamel that highlights the crown jewel of Banff National Park. A new RCM benchmark: This is the highest relief weve ever achieved on a 50 mm coin. This marks the first time Extraordinarily High Relief (EHR) has been applied to a 50 mm coin. INNOVATIVE USE OF EHR TECHNOLOGY! For a more realistic rendering of the terrain, your coins reverse mixes sunken relief (Lake Louise) and EHR technology (Canadian Rockies) that adds extra height. One of Canadas most photogenic locations, Lake Louise is famous for its turquoise waters that are re-created here using translucent coloured enamel over engraved relief. ANOTHER RCM FIRST: In addition to the EHR technology, the RCM was able to frost the top of the mountain peaks and glaciers to give them a silvery, snow-capped appearance. GEOGRAPHY ON BOTH SIDES! The geography theme extends to your coins obverse, which shares the same field pattern as the reverses outer rim. This pattern consists of contour lines that typically illustrate relief on a topographic map. This mesmerizing combination of topographic mapping, EHR and selective enamelling is the product of close collaboration between our engineering and engraving teams, who spared no effort in their attempt to create the most realistic rendering possible. Only 3,000 are available to collectors and geography enthusiasts worldwide. Dont miss outorder your coin today! The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins. Design: Based on elevation modelling, your coins reverse features Extraordinary High Relief (EHR) technology that adds height to this realistic rendering of the terrain surrounding Lake Louise in Banff National Park (Alberta), in the Canadian Rockies. Glaciers and mountain peaks are frosted to create a silvery snow-capped effect. Lake Louise is struck incuse and filled in with translucent colour enamel that mimics its famous turquoise waters. Inspired by topographic maps, contour lines form a field pattern that frames the reverse and continues on the obverse, which features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. It was a thrilling experience to see Lake Louise and the surrounding terrain come to life on a coin. Working alongside our R&D staff continues to be a privilege, and with new avenues to explore, there is never a dull moment! Matt Eggink, Product Manager, RCM. Lake Louise, with its iconic turquoise waters, has captivated travellers in the Rocky Mountains since time immemorial. Today, Parks Canada welcomes visitors from around the world to take in the breathtaking glaciers and mountain landscapes, hike to incredible viewpoints, and share in the history of this unforgettable place. Rick Kubian, Field Unit Superintendent, Lake Louise, Yoho and Kootenay, Parks Canada. Using satellite mapping data, we were able to translate the geography of the Lake Louise area into a 3D modela first for us! Despite the technical challenges of creating height and rendering the mountain range in fine detail, the final product is truly a stunning and unique representation of Canadian geography. Ryan Poser, Engraver. The Lake Louise coin is another great innovation from the Royal Canadian Mint. We can appreciate the reliefs details of the mountains around Lake Louise area, which are located on multiple areas and non-centered on the coin, whereas for typical coins, the high relief area is centered. The maximum relief height for a typical 50mm diameter is 0.25mm while for this coin the maximum relief is more than 15 times higher! Another novelty is we were able to introduce real-life topographic satellite data in our design software in order to be able to manufacture the die as close as we can to replicate the real topography of the area on the coin. Yannick Cormier, Senior Research Engineer, R&D. Beginning in late spring, Victoria Glaciers meltwater carries silt or rock flour (fine-grained particles of rock) into Lake Louise, where these particles stay suspended in the waterin fact, the lakes vivid colour is caused by sunlight reflecting off these particles. If youre hoping to see those turquoise waters in person, youll want to time your visit carefully. A sunny day is best but the waters also need to have a high concentration of suspended rock flour particles. Peak time is July and August, when glacial run-off is at its highest; September and early October are also good times to visit, but the colour fades as the silt settles and meltwater tapers off.
