Description
This is an authentic $2 Canada Coin, popularly known as the Toonie, issued by the Royal Canadian Mint.
It features a bimetallic design — a gold-colored aluminum-bronze center surrounded by a silver-colored nickel ring.
The reverse of the coin depicts a polar bear standing on an ice floe, symbolizing Canada’s Arctic wilderness and strength.
The obverse side features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by various artists depending on the year (e.g., Dora de Pédery-Hunt or Susanna Blunt).
Introduced in 1996, the Toonie replaced the $2 banknote and is now one of Canada’s most iconic and collectible modern coins.
Special commemorative editions and early mint years are highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
