About
A unique opportunity for collectors of Canadian coins to not only own a complete specimen set, but celebrate 25 years of one of Canada’s most historically striking coins—the Loonie.
The Common Loon is one of the signature sightsand sounds of the great Canadian wilderness.This beautiful black-and-white aquatic bird isa powerful swimmer capable of diving up to80 m with large webbed feet and numerous bonesthat are solid rather than hollow to help it reachsuch depths. Loon chicks can swim right away butwill spend time on their parents’ backs to rest, keepwarm and to avoid predators lurking in or aroundthe water.
Exceptional packaging includes removable lens to enhance your enjoyment of the set.
