2016 Canadian Specimen 6-Coin Collector Set ft $1 Tundra Swan Loonie Dollar

2016 Canadian Specimen 6-Coin Collector Set ft $1 Tundra Swan Loonie Dollar 

One of only two native swan species, Canada’s tundra swan (Cygnus columbianus) is the very picture of elegance with its snowy white plumage and long, slender neck. This 2016 specimen set celebrates this large waterfowl, whose summertime presence along Northern Canada’s coastline and on the tundra landscape only adds to the region’s rich biodiversity.

Features

Aureate loonie dollar featuring the Tundra Swan can only be found in this collector coin set.

Design

The Royal Canadian Mint is proud to present the 2016 Specimen Set of Canadian coins. The finish on these superb coins is a three-fold combination of brilliant and frosted relief on a lined finish background. 

The one-dollar coin in the 2016 specimen set of Canadian coins features a reverse image by Canadian artist Glen Scrimshaw. Beautifully depicted in its natural setting, the tundra swan is particularly resplendent with features that are brought to life through finely detailed engraving and the unique combination of finishes.
