1996 Canada 2 Dollar Coin Elizabeth II D.G. Regina Toonie | Vintage Canadian Coin | First Year Issue | Coin Collector Gift

This 1996 Canadian two-dollar Toonie marks a significant moment in numismatic history as the first year of issue for Canada's bi-metallic $2 coin, replacing the paper note that came before it. The coin features Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and a polar bear on an ice floe on the reverse, making it a distinctive addition to any collection of Canadian currency or world coins. At 28mm in diameter and weighing 7.3 grams, this piece from the Royal Canadian Mint carries both historical weight and collector appeal for those interested in vintage numismatics.
