Following the success of the Renewed Silver Dollar series (2015-present) and the conclusion of the Renewed Silver Half-Dollar series (2017-2020), the RCM is introducing a new annual series that shifts the focus to a different denomination: Canada's $2 circulation coin, better known as the toonie. In 2021, Canada's bi-metallic $2 coin turns 25! To mark the occasion, the RCM begins this retrospective series with a reproduction of the 2006 anniversary tribute to the toonie's polar bear mascot since 1996. The design has been renewed and upgraded on this collectible, which combines 99.99% pure silver and selective gold plating to capture the look of our famous bi-metallic coin. Coin #1 in a new, exclusive series designed for the most loyal customers, a Master's Club Exclusive Release! Special features: AN ANNIVERSARY EDITION! Celebrate the 25th anniversary of Canada's $2 circulation coin and its polar bear mascot! To mark the occasion, the coin's reverse features a 2006 variation of the Arctic-themed design that debuted in 1996. A NEW SERIES BEGINS! Coin #1 in a new annual series! In the same spirit as the Renewed Silver Dollar (2015-present) and Renewed Silver Half Dollar (2017-2020) series, the Renewed Silver Toonie series showcases the different designs that have graced the $2 circulation coin since 1996. A PRECIOUS METAL UPGRADE! The combination of 99.99% pure silver and selective 99.99% pure gold plating re-creates the distinctive color contrast that makes the bi-metallic $2 coin so unique. It's an enhanced version of the original, and nearly twice its size too! A MASTERS CLUB EXCLUSIVE! This series was specifically designed for Masters Club, and this exclusive coin is only available to its members. VERY LOW MINTAGE! Similar coins have previously sold out, and with an exceptionally low mintage of just 2,500 worldwide, this coin will be a highly sought-after addition to any collection. INCLUDES SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE! The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins. Design:The coin's reverse is a reproduction of the 2006 $2 commemorative circulation coin design by Canadian artist Tony Bianco. It is a variation of the Arctic-themed design that debuted 10 years prior, in 1996, and shows the polar bear gazing up at the aurora borealis. The addition of selective gold plating captures the distinctive look of the bi-metallic circulation coin, which features the words "CANADA" and "2 DOLLARS" on its reverse. The obverse is double dated ("1996 · 2021") to mark the 25th anniversary of the $2 circulation coin and features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. Did you know? This was one of two designs that appeared on the $2 circulation coins in 2006. Both were designed by Tony Bianco, but the first one resembled the original design introduced in 1996, while this version featured an updated pose and the aurora borealis. How did the polar bear get its name? In 2006, the RCM helda Name Our Polar Bear Contest. Churchill was the first-place winner with 34% of the 166,635 votes cast and it's a fitting name: it's a reference to the northern Manitoba community that is famous for polar bear watching. The runners-up in the naming contest were Wilbert (26%) and Plouf (15%). The coin features selective gold plating and fine silver, but every one of the bi-metallic $2 circulation coins is minted with a patented mechanism that keeps the outer ring and the inner core locked together.
