One of the most popular sets of coins produced each year by the Royal Canadian Mint is the Specimen Set. This collection features some of the highest-quality coins struck for collectors, all housed in an elegant book-format presentation. Six denominations from the five-cent coin to two-dollar coin comprise the set, which also includes the elusive low-mintage half-dollar which is not issued for circulation. The highlight of the set is a unique one-dollar coin featuring a pileated woodpecker scaling the trunk of an oak tree, where it uses its bill to excavate an oblong-shaped cavity. This highly collectible coin cannot be found in circulation or in any other coin set. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
The presentation and quality of coins are excellent, and the set is ideal to mark the birth of a new baby, or any birthday, graduation, wedding or other event.
