As the Royal Canadian Mint focuses its attention on commemorating the reign of Queen Elizabeth II (1952-2022), the Mint will not be issuing any 2023-dated Canadian circulation coins featuring both the traditional reverse designs and an obverse featuring Queen Elizabeth II. Instead, they are offering a collector’s edition of these annual issues that have been struck in limited numbers. These are non-circulation coins, meaning they are legal tender but not intended for general circulation. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.

A SET EXCLUSIVE

Instead of a classic Loonie, the $1 non-circulation coin in this set features a fun moose that is ready to get the party started! The coin is a set exclusive—it was specially struck for the 2023 Birthday Gift Set and is not available on its own.

SPECIAL OBVERSE

The obverse of the five non-circulation coins features a marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies of Queen Elizabeth II that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.

A BIRTHDAY TRADITION

A great gift option for all ages. And if you’ve ever scrambled for a last-minute greeting card or gift, buy an extra set (or two) and set them aside—with a little advance planning, you could have birthdays covered for the whole year!

DID YOU KNOW?

A moose can live 10 to 20 years in the wild. At about 10 years of age, a bull moose’s antlers reach their maximum size, with a typical span of 1.5 metres; those antlers can weigh 20 kilograms or more—far heavier than a little party hat!

DESIGN & ARTIST

The Birthday Gift Card Set’s exclusive $1 non-circulation coin features a reverse design by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn. With a maple leaf party hat on its head, and streamers decorating its antlers, a moose is putting the final touches on some birthday gifts. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.

ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT

The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. The Royal Canadian Mint is renowned for producing some of the highest quality and purity of gold and silver bullion coins and bars in the world. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
