1996 Canada's $2 Proof Coin and Bank Note Set
Proof $2 Coin
Designed by wildlife artist Bent Townsend, the reverse of the coin presents an adult polar bear in early summer, hunting along the edge of an ice floe in proximity of the coast. He is paused, frozen in his tracks, concentrating on a distant movement of fresh scent.
$2 Bank Note
The note face features the effigy of Her Magesty Queen Elizabeth II updated and enlarged for this series, a small engravedvignette of the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, and the Coat of Arms of Canada. The note bears the signature of Mr. Gordon G. Thiessen and Mr. Bernard Bonin, Gorvernor and Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canada, respectively. The back features two robins against a stylized sky incorporating the word Canada.
The "X" in the third position of the alphanumeric serial number denotes that this note is the replacement for one which did not meet the high quality standars set by the Bank. As such, replacement notes rarely enter circulation.
