When the dollar coin replaced the paper dollar in 1987, the planned voyageur design dies were lost in transit and Carmichael's loon was chosen instead – which is how Canada got the 'loonie'. The W Mint Mark series honours the Winnipeg plant that has struck Canada's circulation coins since 1976.
Why We Love This One
The loonie at one full ounce, with the W mark collectors look for. Only 7,500 made – it belongs beside the Bluenose and Caribou coins from the same series.
