| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic cliff-side natural setting rendered with fine colourised detail, illustrating a scene of wildlife recovery in the wild as part of the Wings of Hope series. A peregrine falcon is depicted in close-up, with the left tip of the bird's wing prominently featured in the foreground, conveying motion and the spirit of conservation. The design employs selective colouring and sculpted relief to evoke the rugged Canadian wilderness habitat. The initials DC appear within the field, attributing the reverse design. |

| Additional information |
The "Wings of Hope" release belongs to a long-running RCM series pairing fine silver with Swarovski crystal elements — a commercial program that has drawn predictable criticism from traditionalists but generates consistent secondary market demand. This particular issue was produced in a limited mintage for the collector market and never saw circulation. The .9999 fineness is characteristic of RCM's post-2000 bullion-adjacent commemoratives, a purity standard the mint adopted aggressively to differentiate its collector output from sovereign issues elsewhere.
