Depicted on the 2024 Specimen Dollar featured in this set, the northern leopard frog was once widespread, but in western Canada, populations have been in sharp decline due to disease, habitat loss and degradation, and the introduction of invasive species. The Rocky Mountain population in British Columbia has been designated “endangered” by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) but there’s some good news: the Wilder Institute and its partners are working to prevent the amphibian’s local extinction. Through head-starting efforts, a conservation breeding program and wild-to-wild translocations, the B.C. Northern Leopard Frog Recovery Team is giving northern leopard frog populations a muchneeded helping hand and a shot at bouncing back.

 Fifth in a multi-year series that is helping to raise awareness of wildlife conservation and species recovery efforts in Canada.
 Exclusively available as part of this set, the 2024 Specimen Dollar highlights the plight of the endangered Rocky Mountain population of northern leopard frog and its leap towards recovery.
 All six coins are presented side-by-side in elegant book-style packaging that allows for easy viewing.
 An affordable set that makes a great gift for animal lovers of all ages, and its educational theme makes it the perfect starter set for a new collector.
 Only 30,000 sets available.
