This fine silver coin features the American goldfinch (Spinus tristis), capturing the exquisiteness of its brightly coloured plumage in full colour. The striking contrast between its cheerful yellow feathers with white markings and the black of its forehead, outstretched wings and tail makes this small bird a delight to see.
The Migratory Birds Convention, signed in 1916, stands as a groundbreaking milestone in the history of wildlife conservation. It's enforced by Canada's Migratory Birds Convention Act and America's Migratory Birds Treaty Act, both of which protect species, nests, and eggs from unregulated hunting or commercial activities.
