The Royal Canadian Mint's .9999 fine silver bullion and collector output expanded dramatically through the 2010s as global silver investment demand pressured mints worldwide to diversify their numismatic lines. This piece belongs to that wave of themed collector issues the RCM produced in volume during the period, targeting the North American wildlife market specifically — the Bald Eagle being an unusual choice for a Canadian issuer, given its status as a national symbol of the United States rather than Canada.
