Orcas (Orcinus orca) are apex predators, meaning they are at the top of the marine food chain. They are known for their exceptional hunting skills and versatility in prey selection. Orcas have a varied diet that includes fish, squid, and marine mammals such as seals, sea lions, and even whales. Different populations of Orcas may specialize in specific types of prey, leading to cultural variations in hunting techniques among different groups.
In the obverse design of the 2013 Orca $10 Canadian Silver Coin, the mint features a bust of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief in a 2003 work of art from Susanna Blunt.
Designed by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc, the reverse of the 2013 1/2 oz Orca Canadian Silver Coin features a powerful breaching orca in a dynamic side view. The massive creature emerges from the water, surrounded by the tall trees and rocky shoreline of the Northwest Pacific coast. Encircling this captivating image are the engraved words CANADA and the face value of 10 DOLLARS, complemented by the mint date and a stylized orca tail fin.
