Product Overview

One of the most popular sets of coins produced each year by the Royal Canadian Mint is the specimen set. Specimen sets feature some of the highest-quality-possible coins struck for collectors in an elegant book-format presentation. In recent years, these sets have also started to include a special-edition loon dollar or two-dollar coin which is exclusively available in this set. All of the denominations from the five-cent to the two-dollar coin are presented, including the low-mintage half-dollar. This special-edition set includes a unique two-dollar coin with black bear cubs playing on a fallen tree in a forest, and has a limited mintage of just 17,500. The specimen finish is a three-fold combination of brilliant and frosted relief on a lined finish background—this finish is unique to the Royal Canadian Mint.  

Black Bears
They are the smallest and most common bear species found in North America. Despite their name, black bears can range in colour from cinnamon and chocolate to jet black and in some rare cases even white. Capable of great bursts of speed, some have been clocked at more than 50 kilometres per hour! Canadian folklore is rich with stories about the black bear—in fact, the popular children's book character Winnie the Pooh was named after a Canadian black bear named Winnipeg. Black bears also feature prominently in the stories and traditions of Canada's Indigenous Peoples.
