2019 – 2 Dollars Toonie Canada

The Canadian two-dollar coin, known as the “Toonie,” issued in 2019 features a striking image of a polar bear walking on an ice floe during early summer, a design created by wildlife artist Brent Townsend that has represented Canada’s rich northern heritage since the coin’s introduction in 1996. The bi-metallic coin consists of a multi-ply nickel-plated steel outer ring with a multi-ply brass-plated aluminum bronze insert, has a diameter of 28 mm and a weight of 6.92 grams, and showcases the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt on the obverse, symbolizing both the durability and artistry of Canadian currency while remaining a beloved icon among collectors for its lifelike and resilient portrayal of the polar bear.​
