Canada 2 Dollar Toonie Polar Bear Coin CCCS Certified MS-65
The 2-dollar coin, or 'Toonie', as Canadians have named it,
features the image of an adult polar bear in early summer on an ice floe. It
was designed by wildlife and landscape artist Brent Townsend. The 2-dollar coin
was first introduced on February 19, 1996, to replace the 2-dollar bill. The
'Toonie' has a life span approximately 20 times longer than paper currency and
is manufactured using a distinctive bi-metallic coin locking mechanism patented
by the Royal Canadian Mint.
Design
2003 was the last year the Dora de Pedery-Hunt design of Her
Majesty's effigy appeared on the two-dollar circulation coin. In June 2003, the
Government of Canada announced that an updated effigy of Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II would appear on all Canadian circulation coins in honour of the
50th anniversary of the Queen's coronation. This design is the work of artist
Susanna Blunt, whose prior experience with Buckingham Palace included painting
a portrait of Prince Edward. It is by no mistake that two-dollar circulation
coins dated 2003 show both the "crowned" and "uncrowned"
effigy of Her Majesty.
