The 1-dollar circulation coin was introduced in 1987 as a cost-saving measure to replace dollar bills. The coin was instantly dubbed the 'loonie' after the solitary loon that graces the coin's reverse side. The nickname caught on and Canadians have been using it ever since.

This loonie coin was originally released in a Royal Canadian Mint yearly proof set.


Design:

The obverse design features a bust image of Queen Elizabeth II and the phrase "ELIZABETH II D.G. REGINA".

The reverse, designed by Robert R. Carmichael, features a Canadian Loon on water with an island in the background. On the outer periphery are the words "CANADA" and "DOLLAR". Just below the loon is the year of issue.
