To the right in the nest, three bald eagle chicks face the landing bird. Behind is a forest and a lake. As per the Royal Canadian Mint, 'Whether flying solo or watching from the top of the tallest tree, the bald eagle, with its piercing gaze, is recognized as a symbol of strength. This majestic bird of prey can, however, show surprising tenderness when it feeds its offspring and sets an example to ensure the survival and prosperity of subsequent generations. Rarely seen, it's this side of the bird that is depicted on this pure silver coin. The multi-faceted engraving adds depth to the eagle and its eaglets, creating a fresh and dazzling picture of this creature seen from a whole new angle.'"
