2013 Canadian Specimen 6-Coin Collector Set ft $1 Blue-winged Teal Loonie Dollar

2013 Canadian Specimen 6-Coin Collector Set ft $1 Blue-winged Teal Loonie Dollar

This year, the aureate dollar features Canadian artist Glen Loates depiction of a Blue-Winged Teal perched on a tree bough at the edge of a marsh or pond. The Teal, engraved in exquisite detail, is viewed from the side with its head turned in three-quarter profile toward the viewer. Its diversely patterned feathers, webbed foot, and gently rounded bill are rendered in dimensional detail through fine engraving. The Teal occupies the central portion of the reverse field and perches upon a tree limb or bough protruding from a body of water. Behind the duck we see fine blades of wispy marsh grass.
