This selectively gold plated five once fine silver coin is one of the highlights of a series called “The Bigger Picture” which zooms in on Canada’s classic circulation coin designs and zooms out to reveal a much bigger story. Mintage is limited to only 1,300. HST/GST exempt.  

The Design:

The $2 coin design re-imagines Canada’s two dollar circulation coin, shifting the focus to the polar bear. The classic twoonie makes up part of the design with a selective gold-plated finish, while the balance of the engraved art showcases a polar bear standing on an ice floe looking out at a seal that has just surfaced.

The obverse features a maple leaf pattern and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
