About this piece

2026 Canada $20 The Eagle - 1 oz Fine Silver Coin, Rhodium Plating

In Kwakwaka’wakw tradition, the Eagle is a powerful symbol of leadership, transformation, and ancestral connection—a master of the skies who bridges the physical and spiritual worlds, carrying messages to the Creator.

This 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin features a striking Eagle rendered in the Northwest Coast form line style, set against a sky darkened by black rhodium plating that heightens its presence and emphasizes its revered status. It reminds us that our strength is never ours alone: the face within the Eagle’s chest—an element inspired by the artist’s grandfather, renowned master carver Chief Sam Henderson—symbolizes not only the strength that lives within, but also the enduring presence of ancestors and the wisdom they pass down to each generation.

A revered Kwakwaka’wakw symbol, backed by black rhodium plating.

An important figure in Kwakwaka’wakw culture, the Eagle is frequently featured on jewelry, prints, totem poles, masks, and other ceremonial regalia, often representing the link between the physical and spiritual worlds.

Black rhodium plating

Black rhodium plating provides a rich, dark background for a more dramatic visual effect, allowing the silver eagle to shine with strength and clarity.

Set against a black rhodium plated field, the reverse design by Kwakwaka’wakw artist Junior Henderson showcases the Eagle, a revered cultural symbol, rendered in the traditional Northwest Coast form line style. The Eagle’s outstretched wings and curved lines draw the eye inward to a central face—a presence that evokes lineage, strength, and generational wisdom. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
