Discovery of Insulin – Commemorative Collector Keepsake (2021)

• TWO $2 COINS! With this set, your collection will proudly include two different versions of the 2021 $2 Discovery of Insulin coin. Both coins share the same design, but the coloured edition features a touch of blue that highlights insulin on the 100th anniversary of its discovery. Blue is the colour that globally represents diabetes awareness.
• PACKAGED WITH CARE! All seven coins are packaged in a ready-to-display collector card that adds to the story told on the $2 coins.
• A SPECIAL CONNECTION! Celebrate a Canadian innovation that has had a global impact! Chances are, you or someone you know has a connection to this discovery, which has saved the lives of countless people worldwide.
• PROUDLY CANADIAN! On the reverse of the $2 coin, the maple leaf behind the laboratory equipment proudly identifies this discovery as a Canadian medical breakthrough and a towering scientific achievement.
• IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS! The $2 coin’s reverse design conveys energy and hope. The story on the inner core moves from the laboratory (right) to the isolation of insulin (left), while the depiction of insulin regulating blood glucose levels extends onto the outer ring.
• SECURITY FEATURE! Also on your $2 coins, the engraved maple leaves serve a dual purpose as both a symbol of Canada and a cutting-edge security feature that ensures the coin’s authenticity.
