The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II, with the denomination 10 DOLLARS and date 2020 also inscribed in the obverse field. The portrait reflects the sixth definitive effigy of the Queen used on Canadian coinage. |

This piece belongs to a long-running RCM wildlife bullion program that expanded aggressively through the 2010s as the Mint sought alternatives to the dominant American Silver Eagle and Austrian Philharmoniker in the dealer market. The Canada Goose selection is deliberate nationalism by committee — the bird's migratory range blankets virtually the entire continent, making it immediately legible to both domestic buyers and American collectors, the program's primary export market.
