DESIGN

The reverse image by Canadian artist Emily Damstra features a bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) just having caught a fish. The eagle dominates the image, its stunning wings spread wide as it is viewed in full-body profile from its left side. Here we see the Bald Eagle’s characteristic dark body and wings, white head and tail, and powerful legs and talons.

The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
