Canadian coinage since 1937

[<k>]

The new 2 dollar coin of 2012.

It featured on its reverse:

laser mark micro-engraving of two maple leaves at the bottom

latent images of two maple leaves at the top of the coin.

A reminder of the previous toonie.

The positioning of the legend had to change to accommodate the new marks.

150th Anniversary of Canadian Confederation.

In 2017 Canada issued a new design series.

It commemorated the 150th Anniversary of Canadian Confederation.


Each design was produced by a different designer.

A 50 cents coin was also produced, but for collector sets only.

However, it is said that the Canadians rarely use 50 cents coins anyway.

5  cents.  Living traditions.
10 cents.  Wings of peace.
25 cents.  Hope for a green future.
$1.          Connecting a nation.
$2.          Dance of the spirits.

That brings my survey of modern Canadian circulation coinage up to date.
