Description
30th anniversary of the loonie
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…
The first coin features the design by Canadian artist Robert-Ralph Carmichael that has become synonymous with Canada’s currency: the iconic side-profile portrait of acommon loon on a still lake, where it floats past the Group of Seven-esque trees rising up on a small island behind it. The entire scene is representative of the lakes that dot the Canadian Shield across much of the nation, and includes the engraved words “CANADA” and “DOLLAR”, along with the commemorative dates “1987-2017” to mark the 30th anniversary of Canada’s $1 circulation coin.
The second coin represents the one-dollar circulation coin that never was. Much as it appeared on Canada’s silver dollar between 1935 and 1986, the “Voyageur” design by sculptor and artist Emanuel Hahn is a nod to Canada’s early history and the fur trade era. A canoe moves swiftly past the wind-swept pines that dot a semi-circular island. A voyageur paddles at the stern, while an Aboriginal paddles at the bow; between them lies a bundle of wrapped furs, while stylized vertical rays above represent the Aurora borealis. The reverse also features the engraved words “CANADA” and “DOLLAR”, along with the commemorative dates “1987-2017”.
