2022 Canadian $1 Celebrating Oscar Peterson Loonie Special Wrap Roll Set

2022 Canadian $1 Celebrating Oscar Peterson Loonie Special Wrap Roll Set

Each Colourized Special Wrap Roll adds 25 colourful commemorative $1 coins to your collection, but with this Special Wrap Roll Set, you get TWO different versions of the Celebrating Oscar Peterson coin: one Colourized Special Wrap Roll, and one Special Wrap Roll of 25 non-colour coins.

This represents a unique collecting opportunity because the non-colour Special Wrap Roll is only available as part of this set or with a subscription the 2022 Special Wrap Roll Commemorative Collection.

Features

Canada celebrates Oscar Peterson! Piano virtuoso. Jazz legend. Composer, educator and advocate. Celebrate the extraordinary life, work and legacy of Canada’s Oscar Peterson (1925-2007) and his exceptional contributions to Canadian music and culture, as well as his reputation as one of the world’s most respected and influential jazz artists of all time.
Two rolls, two different versions! Each Special Wrap Roll contains 25 of Canada’s 2022 Celebrating Oscar Peterson commemorative one-dollar coin, which comes in two different versions: non-colour, and with selective colour. This two-roll set gives you one roll of each version!
One of two ways to get a classic roll! The Colourized Special Wrap Roll can be purchased individually, but not the non-colour Special Wrap Roll—it’s only available as part of this set or with a subscription to the 2022 Special Wrap Roll Commemorative Collection.
Uncirculated coins! None of these coins have been circulated—they all have a newly minted quality.
Limited supply! Subscriptions are limited to 10,000 (that’s a limited mintage of 10,000 of each roll in this set).

Design

Designed by Canadian artist Valentine De Landro, the reverse celebrates the life and legacy of Oscar Peterson (1925-2007), one of the greatest pianists of all time. It features a depiction of the musician seated at his piano, playing his powerful civil rights anthem Hymn to Freedom, while musical notes and chord symbols from that piece also appear in the design. On the $1 coin with selective colour, Peterson’s favourite colour (purple) conveys the joy and love of music that were evident every time he played. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Packaging

Each Special Wrap Loonie Roll contains 25 of Canada’s 2022 Celebrating Oscar Peterson commemorative one-dollar coin, which comes in two different versions: non-colour, and with selective colour. This two-roll set gives you one roll of each version!
