| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a striking wildlife composition inspired by recent peregrine falcon sightings in Canada's major urban centres, centring on the dramatic outstretched wing of a falcon rendered in highly detailed relief, with the right wingtip prominently featured as the focal design element. The composition references the "Wings of Hope" theme, celebrating the conservation recovery of the peregrine falcon as a species. Fine feather detail is rendered with exceptional precision across the surface, consistent with the Royal Canadian Mint's high-relief proof engraving standards. The rectangular format of the flan allows for an elongated, immersive presentation of the bird's wing in dynamic motion. |

| Additional information |
The "Wings of Hope" release was part of the Royal Canadian Mint's ongoing collaboration with Canadian wildlife conservation messaging, though the coin itself is more notable as a technical exercise: the .9999 fine silver specification places it among the purest silver issues the RCM produces commercially, a standard the mint has maintained since introducing four-nines silver into its collector lineup in the 1990s. At 47.34 grams, the planchet falls into the RCM's mid-weight collector tier, distinct from both its standard one-ounce and its larger five-ounce formats.
