They are Canada's coin superstars! The beaver, Bluenose, caribou, loon and polar bear — these are the images we're used to seeing on our everyday coins. Sometimes, we'll issue a special version of a coin that features a different image. Maybe it's for a special event; maybe it's to learn or talk about something new. But Canada's coin “friends” never stay away for long — we'd miss them too much. Our circulation superstars are together in this set that gives you one of every classic denomination for 2019: 5-cents, 10-cents, 25-cents, one-dollar and two-dollar. But there's one more piece…
For the rare 50-cent coin, we gathered our old friends and sent them on a little adventure to discover Canada. The colour image shows them looking in every direction beneath a blue sky, while the maple leaf stands tall in the background. When you view the coin in the dark, that same sky is lit up by the Northern Lights. And the proud maple leaf from the daytime scene? It's still there!
