Each coin in this collection features a sophisticated triple-effect finish—brilliant and frosted reliefs set against a finely lined background—resulting in an eye-catching presentation.
A standout of the set is the aureate $1 coin, which for 2009 honors the Great Blue Heron, a majestic symbol of Canada’s diverse wildlife. All coins are encased in a beautifully designed book-style display case with a removable lens for closer viewing, combining elegance with practicality.
