In 2022, Canada's one-dollar circulation coin turns 35, and we're marking the occasion by re-visiting a previous anniversary edition: the 1997 10th Anniversary of the Loon proof silver dollar. Re-created in a larger 2 oz. format and in 99.99% pure silver—a higher purity than the original sterling silver coin—the Flying Loon makes a splashy return on the eighth Renewed Silver Dollar coin, which features just two modern updates on its reverse: selective gold plating and the double dates (“1987-2022”) commemorating the Loonie's 35th anniversary.
