The orca whale, often referred to as the killer whale, belongs to the oceanic dolphin family and is recognized as an apex predator with no natural enemies. This coin draws inspiration from the orca’s commanding presence in the world’s oceans, from the Arctic to the Antarctic, highlighting its unique black-and-white skin and powerful hunting capabilities. The Royal Canadian Mint’s decision to feature the orca on this coin underscores its significance and the awe it inspires in nature enthusiasts around the globe.
