2022 Canadian $1 The Bigger Picture: Loon - 5 oz Fine Silver Coin

Canada’s circulation coins are a part of our everyday lives and collectors have come to know every design element and variation. But what if these familiar images only told part of the story?

The successor to our popular Big Coin series, The Bigger Picture zooms in on Canada’s circulation coins and zooms out to reveal there’s a lot more story to discover! Like a coin within a coin, each circulation design is re-created on a larger 5 oz. fine silver piece that provides an extended canvas for the engraved-only art.

This loon design reimagines Canada's one-dollar circulation coin, shifting the focus to the loon. The classic loon dollar makes up part of the design with a selective gold-plated finish, while the balance of the engraved art showcases an adult loon and chicks in the shallows of a Canadian lake. The obverse features a maple-leaf pattern and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
