1 oz. Pure Silver Coin and Bank Note SetA look back at the birth of the Toonie! This anniversary set features a 99.99% pure silver recreation of the $2 coin that made its debut on February 19, 1996—the same day Canada ceased to issue $2 bills, like the one featured here. Sealed in its own capsule, the uncirculated $2 banknote in this set is from the Bank of Canada’s 1986 Birds of Canada series and represents the last of its kind—in fact, this one is a rare BRX replacement bank note1 that has been locked in our vault for 25 years. As for the fine silver coin, it is selectively gold-plated to resemble our beloved bi-metallic circulation piece, which quickly became a fixture in the everyday lives of Canadians.
Packaging:
The perfect pairing, your $2 coin and bank note are individually encapsulated and presented side by side in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
1Please note: As of January 1, 2021, all Canadian $2 bank notes – including the one in this set – are no longer legal tender. While they may not be accepted for cash transactions, the Bank of Canada will honour the bills at facevalue if you wish to redeem them.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2021 Canadian $2 Elizabeth II coin made of gold-plated silver is that it features selective gold plating on the design of the Queen's effigy, which creates a striking contrast between the gold and silver elements of the coin. This unique feature adds to the coin's aesthetic appeal and makes it a sought-after collector's item.
