    2017 Canada $1 30th Anniversary of the Loonie Fine Silver 2-coin Set

    Celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of Canada's most iconic circulation coins! This two-coin commemorative set features a 99.99% pure silver edition of the now-classic "loonie" design that graces the reverse of Canada's $1 circulation coin. Next to it, the second coin re-creates the coin's intended one-dollar design for the 1987 coin - it's how our $1 coin would have appeared, had the dies not vanished.

    Special Features:
    - Not one, Canada's "loonie" turns 30! Two pieces of Canadian coin history are yours to own in this special two-coin set that revisits the 1987 debut of Canada's $1 circulation coin.
    - RCM history re-visited! A special edition of the "loonie" is paired with the Voyageur design that was intended to appear on the one-dollar coin. It's a unique opportunity to view what is next to what could have been - the coin that never was!
    - A faithful representation - but in silver! The two 99.99% pure silver coins are shaped just like the 11-sided circulation piece!
    - Both encapsulated coins come ready for display, and are placed side-by-side inside the clamshell case. It's a unique addition to your collection, and a great conversation piece about the story behind one of Canada's most famous coins!
