On this coin’s reverse, it’s easy to see why this handsome finch is a favourite of many birdwatchers, its yellow-and-black plumage contrasting beautifully with the cheerful purple hues of aster flowers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnjoy this close-up of one of Canada’s most colourful birds\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBreeding across much of southern Canada, the American Goldfinch is sometimes referred to as a wild canary but it is a member of the finch family—and only the male is decked out in those bright yellow-and-black feathers (the female is a more muted brown\/olive colour). There are just three species of goldfinches worldwide, and only the American Goldfinch molts its body feathers twice a year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe coin’s selectively coloured reverse features a cheery late-summer scene set in the countryside and designed by Canadian artist Tony Bianco. A barn appears behind the wood fence and a gate opens up to a dirt road in the engraved background. Easily detected by its black cap and yellow plumage, a male American Goldfinch (\u003ci\u003eSpinus tristis\u003c\/i\u003e) is perched on a cluster of purple-coloured aster flowers that rise up in the foreground. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRCM Number: 246851\u003cbr\u003eMintage: 7,500\u003cbr\u003eComposition: 99.99% pure silver\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 31.39g\u003cbr\u003eDiameter: 38 mm\u003cbr\u003eFace Value: $20\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Proof\u003cbr\u003eEdge: Serrated\u003cbr\u003eArtists: Tony Bianco (reverse), Steven Rosati (obverse)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCoin #4. \u003c\/b\u003eEach coin in the \u003ci\u003eColourful Birds\u003c\/i\u003e series highlights Mother Nature’s contrasting colours throughout the seasons, as seen on 2021’s \u003ci\u003eBlue Jay, \u003c\/i\u003e 2022’s \u003ci\u003eCedar Waxwing\u003c\/i\u003e, 2023’s \u003ci\u003eNorthern Cardinal\u003c\/i\u003e, and now, 2024’s \u003ci\u003eAmerican Goldfinch\u003c\/i\u003e.
