$2 Pure Silver Coin – Tribute: W Mint Mark – Polar Bear

Coin #1 in the first pure silver numismatic series struck at the Winnipeg Mint.

New from the Winnipeg Mint! The Tribute: W Mint Mark series celebrates Canada’s circulation coins and tells their story, beginning with our “youngest” circulation coin: the $2 piece, or Toonie.

Re-created in 99.99% pure silver with a tailored specimen finish and the “W” mint mark of the Winnipeg Mint, this all-silver tribute to Canada’s bi-metallic circulation coin features the beloved polar bear design that has appeared on hundreds of millions of $2 pieces since the coin denomination was introduced on February 19, 1996.

The first in a six-part series of 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver coins.
