Comment
(C) mintage included with the circulation coin.
Proof-like coins were part of sets and were not issued for circulation. The majority of these coins were struck at the Ottawa Mint and do not have a mintmark. Those struck at the Winnipeg Mint have a 'W' mark.
On the reverse, rim denticles were replaced by beads from 1993 and after.
Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was the first coin to feature the new third portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was designed by Canadian artist Dora de Pédery-Hunt and introduced in 1990. This portrait was used on all Canadian coins until 2001, when it was replaced by a new design.
