Comment
The coin was issued only as part of a Coin & Stamp Set with a pair of $1 stamps (one mint, one cancelled) featuring a similar walrus family design. The coin and stamps were housed in a hinged wooden case. It was part of the Canadian Wildlife Series of Coin & Stamp Sets issued from 2004 to 2006; all were similarly packaged.Interesting fact
