2023 - Peace and Joy - Holiday Gift Set
Send someone a very special wish this season with the 2023 Holiday Gift Card Set! The
festive season is a time for family and friends, and whether you’re spending the holidays together or apart, this five-coin set is a uniquely Canadian way of marking the moment and making spirits bright. The set includes an exclusive $1 non-circulation coin with a whimsical design that captures the wonder and joy of the holiday season in Canada. Wish someone all the best this holiday season with this five-coin set.
As we focus our attention on commemorating the reign of Queen Elizabeth II (1952-2022), the Mint will not be issuing any 2023-dated Canadian circulation coins featuring both the traditional reverse designs and an obverse featuring Queen Elizabeth II. Instead, we are offering a collector’s edition of these annual issues that have been struck in limited numbers. These are non-circulation coins, meaning they are legal tender but not intended for general circulation. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
Special features
- Happy holidays! This holiday season, mark the moment and make it more magical with this 2023 gift card set—a soon-to-be treasured holiday keepsake!
- Mark the date. Each Gift Card Set features five (5) 2023-dated Canadian non-circulation coins: 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents and 2 dollars, as well as a special-themed one-dollar coin.
- Exceptionally rare. This is an easy way to acquire a 2023-dated version of the traditional reverse designs of Canadian coinage ($2, 25¢, 10¢, 5¢), in a year when these are only available as non-circulation coins.

- Special obverse. The obverse of the five non-circulation coins features a marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign.
