Highly Significant Circulating Coin Designs Polar Bear Canada’s bi-metallic two-dollar coin, launched in 1996, features a polar bear, the world’s largest terrestrial carnivore, which can weigh over 1400 pounds (650 kilograms). It lives near the cold seas and frozen ice of Canada’s far-north. Caribou An enduring symbol of the Canadian north, the majestically-antlered caribou has remained a Canadian icon since first appearing on the twenty-five-cent piece in 1936. Bluenose Schooner In the 1921, Atlantic Canadians built one of the finest racing and fishing vessels in Canadian history, the Bluenose. Known for its speed, and almost unbeatable in a race, this ship first appeared on the ten-cent piece in 1937. Beaver The beaver is Canada’s national animal. Highly sought after for its rich fur in the 17th and 18th centuries, it was the mainstay of the colonial economy for centuries. Today, the beaver is revered as a symbol of hard work and perseverance. Investment Note The Oh Canada Gift Set is the only way to get this special Maple Leaf dollar. All loonie dollar collectors need this coin, which is found nowhere else. These factors combined with the elaborate, full-color packaging make this set a great value! Obverse The obverse of each coin features the familiar designs found on the regular circulation coins of Canada as described and pictured above. The one-year-only loonie dollar depicts a single, iconic maple leaf, such as appears on the national flag of Canada! Reverse The reverse of each coin features Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in profile facing right. This portrait, the fourth effigy of the queen to appear on Canadian coinage, was executed by the artist Susanna Blunt. The legend ELIZABETH II D. G. REGINA ("Elizabeth II, Queen by the Grace of God") also appears. Packaging This attractive set is packaged in a full-color, bilingual blister pack with a die-cut window on the front to highlight the special edition loonie dollar. The large folder opens to show off both sides of the coins and features information and specifications about each coin.
