This beautiful fine silver coin features the Harlequin duck (Histrionicus histrionicus) in full colour. Named for the male's bright colouring, this pretty little duck is a strong swimmer with a distinctive mouse-like squeal. It winters on the rocky, isolated shores of Canada's east and west coasts, moving inland to fast-moving fresh-water streams for breeding season from May to September. The Harlequin duck is considered a species of conservation concern in Canada.
