2020 NGC PF-70 First Day of Issue 2 oz Canadian Bald Eagle High Relief Proof Gold Coin

The Royal Canadian Mint is an expert at crafting gold coins that showcase the nation's natural beauty. The 2 oz Canadian Bald Eagle Gold coin is no exception.

The Bald Eagle is one of the largest birds in the country, found near large bodies of open water with abundant food and old-growth trees for nesting.

This coin, in particular, is the premier sample of the Royal Canadian Mint’s EHR Series, which comprises limited-edition gold coins containing 2 Troy oz of 99.99% pure gold, exceptionally high-relief designs, and a proof finish that enhances the coin’s numismatic appeal.

It was purchased from the Royal Canadian Mint on the first day of its official release and submitted to an NGC appraisal.

The accompanying engravings read “CANADA,” and “2020,” referring to the issuing nation and the year of mintage.

The obverse depicts Queen Elizabeth II’s effigy designed by Susana Blunt. As the leader of the British Commonwealth, it is usual to have Her Majesty’s bust stamped on the members’ coins. The inscriptions surrounding the image are: “ELIZABETH II,” “D.G.REGINA,” and 250 DOLLARS.”

An NGC PF-70 First Day of Issue Coin 

NGC, which stands for Numismatic Guaranty Company, operates independently of sovereign mints. It evaluates coins using the Sheldon Scale, a grading system from 1 to 70.

NGC considers “First Day of Issue” a coin purchased from its original mint on the first day of its official release and submitted to its appraisal.

PF stands for Proof Coin, indicating a coin produced for collection purposes, which exhibits mirror-like surfaces in contrast with frosted design elements. 70 is the highest grade and indicates a coin with no visible flaws.
