2017 2 Dollars (Toonie) Commemorative "VIMY 100th ANNIVERSARY"

BU (MS-64) CHOICE

Description of the room

This 2017 Canadian $2 coin (Toonie) is a special commemorative issue celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge (1917-2017). The reverse design features the Canadian National Vimy Memorial.

Its certification with the MS-64 (Mint State 64) grade places it in the "CHOICE" category. This is a very good quality uncirculated coin. It has retained all its luster, but shows an increased number of contact marks or minting imperfections, visible without magnification, without detracting from its overall appeal.
