2024 Specimen Coin Set (Includes Unique Leopard Frog Loon Dollar)

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 five cents to two dollars comprise the set, including 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 northern leopard frog partially submerged in its wetland habitat, where it gently rests on aquatic vegetation. This highly collectible coin cannot be found in circulation or in any other coin set. The obverse features the new effigy of His Majesty King Charles III.

While the presentation and quality of coins are excellent, this set remains affordably priced for collectors or to give as a gift; it's ideal for celebrating the birth of a new baby, or for any birthday, graduation, wedding or other event.

This set is part of an ongoing series with special-issue dollar coins featuring Canadian wildlife that has been endangered or threatened. The northern leopard frog was once widespread, but in western Canada, populations have been in sharp decline due to disease, habitat loss and degradation, and the introduction of invasive species. But there's some good news: the B.C. Northern Leopard Frog Recovery Team is working to prevent this amphibian's local extinction. As part of this team, the Wilder Institute supports head-starting efforts, a conservation breeding program and wild-to-wild translocations. Together with their partners, the Wilder Institute is giving northern leopard frog populations a much-needed helping hand and a shot at bouncing back.
