Description of the room

This 2023 Canadian $2 coin (Toonie) is the coloured version of the commemorative issue honouring National Indigenous Peoples Day .

Selective colouring on the coin's core highlights key design elements.

The coin is visually stunning and exhibits only extremely minor microscopic imperfections , often imperceptible to the naked eye. The color quality is flawless , and the specimen retains a brilliant and complete mint luster .

The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, with the double commemorative year of her reign ("1952-2022").
