Reverse
This coin has been specifically designed for consistent weight while also ensuring that the subject remains unaltered from the original in detail and proportions. From Brent Townsend's 1996 2-dollar circulation coin reverse, a stylized adult polar bear stands on an ice floe, gazing out over the early summer Arctic landscape. The image is portrayed within its own silhouette.

It's the toonie like you've never seen it before! Launched in 1996 to replace our 2-dollar bank note, Canada's 2-dollar coin is called the "toonie" because…well, because we call the 1-dollar coin the "loonie" (after the common loon on its reverse).Did you know…
Shortly after the 2-dollar coin's launch, the polar bear on its reverse was dubbed "Churchill"—to the delight of residents of Churchill, Manitoba, where polar bears are a common sight.
When the Royal Canadian Mint announced that it would be producing a 2-dollar coin in 1996, the public sent inapproximately 19,000 unsolicited suggestions for areverse design!
