Canada's New Uncirculated $2 Coin

Designed to replace the 2 dollars banknote, the new bi-metallic 2 dollars coin was issued in February 1996. Featuring the polar bear, it continues the wildlife theme tradition preferred by Canadians.

The reverse 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 or fresh scent.
