Special features:
-
THE TOONIE TURNS 25! Join us in celebrating the 25th anniversary of Canada’s $2 circulation coin! This coin and bank note set looks back at the $2 coin’s debut in 1996.
-
REVISIT A HISTORIC TRANSITION! A before-and-after retrospective, this set commemorates Canada’s transition to the Toonie by pairing one of the last $2 bank notes with a reproduction of the first $2 coin.
-
INCLUDES A REPLACEMENT BRX $2 BANK NOTE! Sealed in a capsule, the uncirculated $2 bill is a colourful piece of the past. It was part of the 1986 Birds of Canada series issued by the Bank of Canada and represents the last of the $2 bank notes that circulated in Canada until 1996.
-
A BRX REPLACEMENT BANK NOTE! Take a closer look at your $2 bill’s serial number: the “BRX” prefix identifies it as a replacement bank note in case a regular one was damaged or destroyed during the printing process. Replacement notes rarely enter circulation—in fact, this one has been locked in our vault for 25 years, which makes it a unique collectible.
-
A SNAPSHOT OF 1996! Crafted in 99.99% pure silver, this collector coin features the reverse and obverse designs from the first two-dollar coin issued in 1996, but a slightly larger (38 mm) diameter and double dates (“1996-2021”) to commemorate the 25th anniversary in 2021.
-
SELECTIVE GOLD PLATING! Gold plating on the centre portion of your coin mimics the look of our bi-metallic $2 circulation piece. The rim is also plated with gold, which provides an extra touch of contrast and elegance.
-
AN AFFORDABLE SET! Priced at $149.95, this set offers great value anda theme that will appeal to any collector of Canadian circulation currency, whether that includes bank notes or coins!
-
INCLUDES SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE! The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
