| Reverse description | The reverse presents an original composition by Cree artist Tim Whiskeychan depicting a traditional Aboriginal hunter in full Cree dress, crouched and drawing a bow aimed at two Canada geese in flight. The hunter is concealed within tall marsh grasses characteristic of the boreal wetland environment, with open water rendered in the foreground suggesting spring snowmelt. The naturalistic scene conveys seasonal and cultural authenticity, evoking the traditional springtime goose hunt. The face value, country name, and date appear in the legend around the reverse field. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's "Tradition of Hunting" series, this issue was one of several wildlife-themed bullion-adjacent collectibles the RCM aggressively expanded in the early 2010s as global silver coin demand spiked following the 2008 financial crisis. The series drew on a long history of waterfowl conservation in Canada, where federal migratory bird hunting permits have been mandatory since the Canada Migratory Birds Convention Act of 1917 — itself a product of the bilateral Migratory Birds Convention signed with the United States the previous year.
