The Birthday Gift Set
The Birthday Gift Set includes five different examples of the circulating denominations of Canada, each of which features a design of national importance, including:

    Five Cent Beaver Nickel
    Ten Cent Bluenose Schooner Dime
    Twenty-Five Cent Caribou Quarter
    One Dollar Common Loon "Loonie"
    Two Dollar Bi-Metallic Polar Bear "Toonie"

All are specially-struck and hand-picked for these high-quality sets. Each coin has a proof-like finish! However, instead of a standard Common Loon "Loonie" the Birthday Gift Set includes a dollar found only in this set (and not released into circulation). This loonie dollar features a birthday part, complete with festive balloons, streamers, presents and party hats!

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 Birthday Gift Set is the only way to get this special Birthday Party 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 festive birthday party.

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.
