2014 Canada Ferruginous Hawk Specimen Set As is typical, the outer cardboard sleeve might have some light wear, and/or the leatherette case might have some deterioration, and/or the COA might be slightly ripped as they often stick to the case. Canadian artist Trevor Tennant's depiction of a large Ferruginous Hawk in flight dominates the reverse image on the one-dollar coin included in the 2014 Specimen Set of Canadian coins. Masterful engraving captures the Hawk's characteristics in exquisite detail, from its spotted plumage to its facial features and sharp talons. This right side profile allows for an excellent view of the bird's majestic wings as it slows its descent and stretches out its feather-covered legs in preparation for a landing. Below it, fine blades of grass rise up from the edge-a reminder of the Hawk's preferred grassland habitat. As with all Canadian "loonies," this coin features an 11-sided shape and raised edging. The reverse is engraved with the words "CANADA" and "DOLLAR" and the date "2014."Specifications: Face Value: 2 dollars Composition: Outer ring: Three-ply nickel finish plated steelInner Core: Brass-plated aluminum bronzeWeight (g): 7.3 Diameter (mm): 28.03 Edge: Interrupted serrationsFace Value: 1 dollarComposition: Nickel electroplated with bronzeWeight (g): 7.0 Diameter (mm): 11-sided 26.50 Edge: PlainFace Value: 50 centsComposition: Three-ply nickel finish plated steelWeight (g): 6.9 Diameter (mm): 11-sided 27.13 Edge: ReededFace Value: 25 centsComposition: Three-ply nickel finish plated steelWeight (g): 4.4 Diameter (mm): 11-sided 23.88 Edge: ReededFace Value: 10 centsComposition: Three-ply nickel finish plated steelWeight (g): 1.75 Diameter (mm): 11-sided 18.06 Edge: ReededFace Value: 5 centsComposition: Three-ply nickel finish plated steelWeight (g): 3.95 Diameter (mm): 11-sided 21.20 Edge: PlainSpecial Features: - Mintage is limited to 50,000 sets worldwide. - Only 1 of 2 annual opportunities for collectors of Canadian coins to own a complete specimen set. - Exceptional packaging includes removable lens to enhance your enjoyment of the set. - The finish on these superb coins combines brilliant and frosted relief over a lined background.
