Renewed Silver Toonie: Path of Knowledge. The second coin in the exclusive Royal Canadian Mint’s Master’s Club series! Its image of a polar bear mother imparting “KNOWLEDGE” to the next generation is just as inspirational today-especially on this selectively gold-plated 2 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin, which is nearly twice the size (50 mm) of the original. Its image of a female polar bear with her two cubs represents the transfer of knowledge from one generation to the next, as indicated by the inscription “KNOWLEDGE? LE SAVOIR” on the outer circle inside the rim. It was launched at a citizenship ceremony at Downsview, Toronto. A PRECIOUS METAL UPGRADE! This is a renewed and enhanced version of the 2000 coin, and nearly twice the size too! A MASTERS CLUB EXCLUSIVE! The Renewed Silver Toonie series was specifically designed for Masters Club. Just like the original coin issued in 2000, this larger-sized collectible features the diademed effigy by Dora de Pédery-Hunt; the historic effigy was in use from 1990 until 2002, before it was replaced in 2003 by the current “uncrowned” effigy by Susanna Blunt. VERY LOW MINTAGE! Packaging: The coin comes encapsulated, presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell, and packaged in a graphic beauty box.
