2023 Mosaic of Canadian Icons, A 6-Coin Set by The Royal Canadian Mint, with a SPECIAL .50 Cent Coin. MINT condition, still factory-wrapped in plastic.
What do a loon and a hockey skate have in common? How about a polar bear and a canoe? They’re all Canadian icons, and they’re some of the popular images of Canada that appear on the 50-cent piece included in this set! The 50-cent coin’s unique reverse also features a selective application of red and white colour to the stylized icons that, together, form the unmistakable shape of Canada’s beloved maple leaf.
The special-themed reverse design by artist Alisha Giroux features a mosaic of stylized Canadian icons arranged in a pattern that echoes the national flag of Canada (clockwise from top): a polar bear, a hockey skate, a canoe with oars, a beaver, a toque, a moose, a curling stone and a snowy owl. At the centre of the design, a selective application of red colour highlights the moose’s antlers, a Canada goose, a mitten, a loon and the log held by the beaver; together, these red and white coloured icons form the shape of another Canadian symbol, the maple leaf.
The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
SPECIAL PACKAGING: Your six coins come sealed and packaged in a presentation-ready folder with a POP-OUT EASEL feature on the back, so you can easily display your 2023 coins with pride.
