Includes the rare 50-cent coin! First uncirculated set without the penny!
The Uncirculated Set continues a long tradition as the perfect way to collect Canada's circulation coins from year-to-year. These shiny coins are also an original keepsake to transform everyday achievements like the first day of school or first job, into memorable milestones—keep them on hand for life's unexpected victories!

Every coin that is minted in Canada is a work of art. Each represents a fragment of our unique history and extraordinary geography. The 2013 Uncirculated set, which contains the six denominations of coins produced this year, is a striking collection of some of Canada's most famous iconography and Canadian icons.

Polar Bear:
Canada's bi-metallic two-dollar coin, launched in 1996, features a polar bear, one of the world's largest terrestrial carnivores which can weigh up to 650 kilograms. It lives near the cold seas and frozen ice of Canada's far-north.

Common Loon:
Launched in 1987, the reverse of the one-dollar coin represents a common loon swimming against the rugged backdrop of the Canadian Shield. The loon's haunting calls are one the quintessential sound of the Canadian wilderness in summer.

Canada's Coat of Arms:
The Canadian Coat of Arms, proclaimed in 1921 and modified in 1996, reminds Canadians of our diverse heritage. It features images from France (the fleur-de-lis), England (the three royal lions and rose), Scotland (a lion and thistle) and Ireland (the Irish harp and shamrock).

Caribou:
An enduring symbol of the Canadian north, the majestically-antlered caribou has remained a Canadian icon since first apprearing on the twenty-five-cent piece in 1936.

Bluenose:
In 1921, Atlantic Canadians built one of the finest racing and fishing vessels in Canadian history, the Bluenose. Known for its speed, and almost unbeatable in a race, the ship first appeared on the ten-cent piece in 1937.

Beaver:
The beaver is Canada's national animal. Highly sought after for its rich fur in the 17th and 18th centuries, it was the mainstay of the colonial economy for centuries. Today, the beaver is revered as a symbol of hard work and perseverance.

These uncirculated coins have been carefully selected to provide you with the best examples of their kind.
