Canada – 2017 – 1 Dollar – Proof Gold 2-Coin Set – 30 Years Loonie

Canada 2017 – $1 Proof Gold 2-Coin Set – 30 Years Loonie

On June 30, 1987, Canada’s iconic one-dollar coin was introduced – the “Loonie.” With its unique, eleven-sided design and striking bronze color, it quickly became part of the daily lives of Canadians. The Loonie, named after the loon on the reverse, has even become known as a lucky charm for the national hockey team.

Fast forward 30 years and the Loonie has become a symbol of Canada. Interestingly, the well-known Loon design was not the original choice. The original plan was to feature the famous “Voyageur” design that had been featured on dollar coins since 1935. But when the original dies were lost in transit, the current design was chosen.
