This is the third 1/10 oz coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's O Canada 10-coin series which focuses on iconic Canadian images. This coin focuses on one of Canada's most familiar wildlife, the Canada Goose. In a country with four very distinct seasons, the Canada Goose marks the cyclical change of the seasons in a manner well known around the world. The beautiful Branta canadensis, or Canada Goose, is one of the nation's most distinctive native waterfowl. This large migratory species, ranging in size from one kilogram to eight kilograms is found across North America. It is immediately recognizable with its long black neck, and black head with white cheek markings and a light coloured chest. There are many variations between the subspecies but there is no mistaking their trumpeting honks. In late November and then again in May, Canadians, both old and young, instinctively look to the sky for the tell-tale "Flying-V" formation of the Canada Goose as a sign that the weather change here to stay. The Canada Goose has become a symbol of the connection of life to the land, a symbol that resonates deeply with Canadians.

Sur l'avers de la pièce figurent l'effigie de la reine Élisabeth II par Susanna Blunt et la mention « Elizabeth II D.G. Regina ».

The reverse features a scene by Canadian artist Jean-Charles Daumas that presents an image of a Canada Goose in its natural habitat, among the reeds of a lake or pond, viewed in three quarters profile from its left side, a Canada Goose sits calmly on a lake against a forest lined background. The coin also features the words "Canada 5 Dollars 2014", the artist's initials and a stylized profile of the neck and head of a Canada Goose.

À PROPOS DE LA MONNAIE ROYALE CANADIENNE

La Monnaie royale canadienne est connue pour être l'une des monnaies les plus réputées au monde. La succursale d'Ottawa de la Monnaie royale a ouvert ses portes en 1908 et a été rebaptisée Monnaie royale canadienne en 1931 lorsque le contrôle a été transféré au gouvernement canadien. Ses normes élevées d'excellence et de qualité lui ont permis d'être la première raffinerie à fabriquer des pièces d'investissement en or d'une pureté de 9999 en 1982, ainsi que la première à atteindre une pureté d'or de 99999 en 1998.
