2008 Canadian $1 Olympic Lucky Loonie Dollar Coin (Brilliant Uncirculated)

 

The 2008 Lucky Loonie features a common Loon getting ready to take flight with the Canadian Olympic Team's logo at its side. The Mint has provided each member of the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Teams competing in Beijing with a Lucky Loonie as their own personal good luck charm.


Design

The obverse design features a bust image of Queen Elizabeth II and the phrase "ELIZABETH II D.G. REGINA". The official Royal Canadian Mint privy mark resides just below the bust. In June 2003, the Government of Canada announced that an updated effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II would appear on all Canadian circulation coins in honour of the 50th anniversary of the Queen's coronation. This design is the work of artist Susanna Blunt, whose prior experience with Buckingham Palace included painting a portrait of Prince Edward.

The reverse, designed by Jean-Luc Grondin, features a common Loon getting ready to take flight with the Canadian Olympic Team's logo at its side. On the outer periphery are the words "CANADA" and "DOLLAR". Just beside the loon is the year of issue.

 

Packaging

All Canadian circulated $1 dollar circulation coins originate from an original roll and are in brilliant uncirculated condition.
