Description
Celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of Canada’s most iconic circulation coins! This two-coin commemorative set features a 99.99% pure silver edition of the now-classic “loonie” design that graces the reverse of Canada’s $1 circulation coin. Next to it, the second coin re-creates the coin’s intended one-dollar design for the 1987 coin – it’s how our $1 coin would have appeared, had the dies not vanished.
