What do a loon and a hockey skate share in common How about a polar bear and a canoe? They all stand as iconic symbols of Canada, featured on the 50-cent piece within this exclusive 6-coin set. This set proudly represents Canadian identity and heritage, with the unique 50-cent coin boasting a captivating mosaic design adorned with patriotic red and white colours.
Although these icons may appear vastly different from one another, they collectively embody Canada and its diverse experiences. These symbols unite to form the most renowned Canadian emblem of all: the maple leaf.
This affordable and enjoyable set provides an excellent starting point or expansion for your coin collection. The six coins, all dated 2023, offer a distinctive way to commemorate special moments this year, be it a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or even your first visit to Canada.
In a rare opportunity for 2023, this set showcases beloved classic Canadian coin designs, now imprinted with the year "2023" in a non-circulation format. As we pay tribute to the reign of Queen Elizabeth II (1952-2022), the Mint will not release any Canadian circulation coins for 2023 that feature the traditional reverse designs along with Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.
Instead, we have crafted a limited collector's edition for each of the six Canadian coin denominations ($2, $1, 50¢ - special edition, 25¢, 10¢, 5¢), and you will find one of each within this special set.

It features a prominent red maple leaf set against a greyscale depiction of a globe. Towards the lower right, you'll find "Canada" and "Mosaic of Canadian Icons" text, topped with red icons of a moose, beaver, and a Canada Goose in flight.
The back of the package is primarily white and features the rear of the maple leaf shape and the obverse side of the six coins.
