Design

Designed by artist Joel Kimmel, the coins in this set feature five of Canada’s endemic animals: Johansen’s Sulphur (Colias johanseni), Peary caribou (Rangifer tarandus pearyi), Copper redhorse (Moxostoma hubbsi), Vancouver Island marmot (Marmota vancouverensis) and Kermode bear (Ursus americanus kermodei). Our 2019 Canada’s Wildlife Treasures was made possible with the collaboration of the Toronto Zoo. From breeding programs to educational activities, Canada’s largest zoo is fighting wildlife extinction while inspiring Canadians to protect our natural environment—for today and for the future.
