| Reverse description | A bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is depicted in dynamic flight, wings fully extended, talons outstretched as it seizes a fish above a rocky shoreline rendered in fine sculptural relief. The background field features vertical radial lines, creating a brushed bullion aesthetic distinctive of the Royal Canadian Mint's investment coin series. The legend CANADA 2024 arcs along the upper periphery, while FINE GOLD 1/4 OZ OR PUR curves along the lower rim. The purity designation 9999 appears in the upper field below the legend. The engraver's initials JC for Jean-Charles Daumas are discretely placed to the right of the central design. |

| Additional information |
The Royal Canadian Mint's "Investissement" sub-series targets bullion investors seeking fractional gold with collector appeal — a commercial category the RCM has aggressively expanded since the 2010s as demand for sub-half-ounce gold product grew. This piece contains a quarter troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, the RCM's standard purity for modern bullion issues, achieved through their proprietary refining process at the Ottawa facility.
The bald eagle subject is an unusual choice for a Canadian crown issuer, almost certainly chosen for cross-border retail appeal in the American market.
