2019 2 oz Silver Canada Orca Whale
The Royal Canadian Mint is well-known for their depictions of native wildlife on bullion coins. This 2019 Silver Canada Orca Whale 2 oz coin is a great example of their innovative design work. Although maintaining the same diameter as that of the 1 oz Maple Leaf, the hefty 2 oz weight is in a piedfort format similar to the popular Queen’s Beast series from Britain’s Royal Mint.
The perspective of the coin is that of a portal, with half of the view above the water and half below. Above the waves you see the backdrop of the hilly shoreline with the dorsal fin of the orca arching above the surface of the ocean water. Below the waves you see the familiar body of the orca in motion. This split view is remarkable and looks especially striking in hand! Be sure to add the CoinSafe 39mm 2 oz Capsule to protect the beauty of your new Orca coin!

This bullion coin certainly caught me by surprise. The orca's body split (part above, part below the water) looks amazing; the picture does not do justice to the actual coin. A must-have for any collection!
