About
Meet the sixth Colourful Birds—bold, curious, and unmistakably Canadian.
The Canada jay is a year-round resident of the boreal forests that stretch from coast to coast and into the North—exactly why it earns its patriotic name. While other bird species pack their bags for warmer places, this grey-and-white songbird stays put, stashing snacks and turning winter into its own playground. Bold and curious, the Canada jay loves to swoop in and check out anything new, especially if it might be edible. On this Colourful Birds coin, its bold spirit and evergreen perch pop against the winter backdrop, celebrating the resilience and quiet charm of Canada’s namesake bird.
Coin #6 in this bird-themed series.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Tony Bianco features a pair of Canada jays (Perisoreus canadensis)—one rests on a white pine branch, while the other swoops in on the wing. Their grey-and-white plumage, along with the evergreen branches, stand out against the engraved winter landscape where a snow-covered path leads to a distant log cabin. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
