Interesting fact
The Lucky Loonie coin has a unique design that features a common loon, a bird known for its haunting calls, on the reverse side. The loon is depicted in a natural setting, surrounded by water lilies and reeds, giving the impression that it is swimming in the water. This design was created by Canadian artist and naturalist, Robert Bateman, who is known for his wildlife paintings and sculptures. The coin's design is not only visually appealing, but it also has a special significance, as the loon is considered a symbol of good luck in Canadian culture. It is said that if a loon appears in your dreams, it will bring you good fortune.
