Smaller than a crow but larger than a robin, the blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) is instantly recognized by birdwatchers young and old thanks to its near-exotic, blue-hued plumage. Their characteristic bright blue feathers are brought to life in full colour on this fine silver collectable coin. 

The blue jay can be found happily nesting in both the wooded urban areas and mixed-wood forests of central Alberta to southern Ontario, and eastward through the Atlantic provinces. Its calls are part of the rich woodland sounds that further add to Canada’s natural beauty.

All collectable coins have been previously owned. Conditions will vary.
