Comment
With Brazil set to host the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio, it's a great opportunity to salute our athletes with an original and historic dollar, inspired by the "loonie" hidden under the ice at the 2002 Winter Olympics. That year, our men's and women's field hockey teams both won gold medals. Thus was born the legend of the lucky dollar, which has since brought its magical touch to Canadian athletes.Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a burgundy double-shell case featuring the Royal Canadian Mint logo. This case is accompanied by a black protective box.
