Description

Soak up some of the most cheerful colours of summer.

Whether it’s bouncing around in flight, singing its lively song or climbing seed-bearing plants, the American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis) can’t help but draw attention to itself as it brings a brilliant flash of colour to any setting. 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.

Enjoy this close-up of one of Canada’s most colourful birds.

IMMERSIVE VIEW

Enjoy a close-up view of the beloved goldfinch! The positioning of the bird and flowers in the foreground creates the illusion that the viewer is standing among the asters, right next to the goldfinch.

DID YOU KNOW?

Breeding 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.

Your 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 (Spinus tristis) 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.

ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT

The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. The Royal Canadian Mint is renowned for producing some of the highest quality and purity of gold and silver bullion coins and bars in the world. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.

How do I know when my order has been sent?

You’ll receive an email with details, including a tracking link, when we send your order. You can also log into your account to view the order status.

How long will it take for my products to arrive?

Once we receive payment, you’ll be sent an email receipt stating it has been paid for, and your products will be sent out within 1-2 business days.

Once your product is shipped, you can expect delivery within 1-3 business days, on average, across the US or Canada.

Do I need to sign for my package?

If your order is valued at under $1,000, you won’t need to sign for it unless you have chosen this option at checkout. More valuable items will need a signature. If you are not home to accept the delivery, you will receive a notification from the shipping company to make other arrangements.

Does insurance cover my purchase during shipment?

Yes! All packages sent by CanAm Bullion are fully insured so if anything happens enroute to your address, it will be covered provided the Terms and Conditions are met. We will investigate and file a claim if the package is lost or stolen.

What do I do if my package has been tampered with?

Shipping insurance ends the moment you sign for your package, so we recommend you refuse any delivery that looks to have been tampered with. If you refuse the package, it will be sent back to CanAm, and we will follow up. Call our customer service team within 48 hours if your product is damaged.

What happens if my order goes missing during shipment?

If your package arrives after we start the claims process, you must let us know right away.

What happens if my order is broken during shipment?

CanAm sends all our bullion products in high quality packaging, so breakages are highly unlikely. However, should this occur, contact our team within 48 hours of delivery, and we will start the claims process with the shipping company.

What happens if my order never arrived, but the courier says it was delivered?

Packages that have been dispatched to the correct address and have been delivered will not be eligible for a refund or insurance claim from CanAm Bullion.
