The Royal Canadian Mint is issuing a new black-ringed toonie to honour Queen Elizabeth II, who died in September after 70 years on the throne.
The Royal Canadian Mint has issued a $2 circulation coin, shown in a handout photo, featuring a black outer ring to honour Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's service to Canada during her historic 70-year reign.The mint says the coin’s black outer ring is intended to evoke a “mourning armband” to honour the queen, who died in September after 70 years on the throne.
The mint says it will start to circulate nearly five million of the coins this month, and they will gradually appear as banks restock inventories. Aside from the black ring, the mint says the coin retains the same design elements of the standard toonie.The core of the commemorative toonie will feature the same portrait of the queen that has been in circulation since 2003, with a polar bear design on the other side.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.
