Comment
The SP/PA mark under the effigy stands for "Silver Plating/Placage Argent".Accompanied by a paper loon toy to assemble and a booklet with full-color illustrations telling the story of the one-dollar coin:
"The loon floats peacefully on the calm waters of a Canadian lake... while it also adorns the famous golden one-dollar coin so beloved by Canadians. The loon's journey to the heart of our daily lives was, however, fraught with difficulties."
Interesting fact
The Loonie Dollar coin from Canada features a unique design element - a small, raised circle in the center of the coin that contains a micro-engraved image of a maple leaf. This feature is not visible to the naked eye and requires a magnifying glass to see. It was added as an anti-counterfeiting measure and is a distinctive characteristic of the coin.
