Description: 2015 CANADIAN $2 POLAR BEAR TOONIE COIN (BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED)Face Value: $2Mintage: 30,378,500Composition: Outer ring - multi-ply nickel plated steel, insert - multi-ply brass plated aluminum bronzeWeight (g): 6.92Diameter (mm): 28Finish: BUThe 2-dollar coin, or 'Toonie', as Canadians have named it, features the image of an adult polar bear in early summer on an ice floe. It was designed by wildlife and landscape artist Brent Townsend. The 2-dollar coin was first introduced on February 19, 1996, to replace the 2-dollar bill. The 'Toonie' has a life span approximately 20 times longer than paper currency and is manufactured using a distinctive bi-metallic coin locking mechanism patented by the Royal Canadian Mint. Design2003 was the last year the Dora de Pedery-Hunt design of Her Majesty's effigy appeared on the two-dollar circulation coin. In June 2003, the Government of Canada announced that an updated effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II would appear on all Canadian circulation coins in honour of the 50th anniversary of the Queen's coronation. This design is the work of artist Susanna Blunt, whose prior experience with Buckingham Palace included painting a portrait of Prince Edward. It is by no mistake that two-dollar circulation coins dated 2003 show both the "crowned" and "uncrowned" effigy of Her Majesty. PackagingAll Canadian circulated $2 dollar circulation coins originate from an original roll and are in brilliant uncirculated condition.
