The 2016 Canadian 1 dollar coin known as the “Lucky Loonie” was issued by the Royal Canadian Mint as a special commemorative coin for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Made of three-ply brass-plated steel, this circulation coin weighs 6.27 grams and measures 26.5 mm in diameter. Designed by Canadian artist Derek Wicks, it features an energizing image of a common loon on the water with its arched body and outstretched wings poised for takeoff, symbolizing Canada’s Olympic athletes soaring to new heights. The background includes a stylized maple leaf and the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Team logos, along with the inscription “LUCKY LOONIE \/ DOLLAR PORTE-BONHEUR.” The coin continues the Lucky Loonie tradition, which began in 2002 and is associated with good luck for Canadian Olympic athletes. This commemorative coin was produced in limited circulation and comes in special packaging commemorating the 2016 Games.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
