2023 Canada $1 Tribute: W Mint Mark - Loon 1 oz Fine Silver Coin

2023 Canada $1 Tribute: W Mint Mark - Loon 1 oz Fine Silver Coin

From our Winnipeg facility comes the new Tribute: W Mint Mark series that celebrates Canada’s circulation coins, beginning with the $2 piece and continuing with this pure silver “loonie.”

The engraved image of a solitary loon in water is synonymous with the Canadian dollar, and it is the reason why Canada’s unit of currency is affectionately known as the loonie. Re-created in 99.99% pure silver with a tailored specimen finish, this special tribute is an ode to the most famous Canadian circulation coin, and it comes to you from the facility that has produced every loonie since the first ones rolled off its presses in 1987.

Coin #2 in the first pure silver collector series struck in Winnipeg.
