2022 Canada First Strikes Special Wrap Roll Collection
The first circulation coins struck this year! From the beaver to the mighty polar bear, Canada's classic circulation coin designs are the featured stars of the 2022 Special Wrap Roll Collection: First Strikes. Inside the collector case, you'll find a special wrap roll of each denomination ($2, $1, 25¢, 10¢, 5¢). These are some of the first 2022-dated circulation pieces struck at our Winnipeg facility. And they're all wrapped in premium paper sealed with a holographic label, to ensure that our first impressions of 2022 will be a memorable addition to your collection.
Over a billion circulation coins are struck each year at the Royal Canadian Mint's high-tech plant in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where their state-of-the-art equipment and processes can produce up to 15 million plated coins each day!
Design:
• Polar Bear: Introduced in 1996, Canada's bi-metallic two-dollar coin features the polar bear, an Arctic species that is a symbol of strength. Artist: Brent Townsend
• Common Loon: A defining image of Canada and its currency, the loon made its coin debut on June 30, 1987. Artist: Robert-Ralph Carmichael
• Caribou: The antlered representative of Canada's northern wilderness, the caribou first appeared on the 25-cent coin in 1937. Artist: Emanuel Hahn
• Bluenose: An enduring symbol of Canada's maritime history and heritage, Bluenose first appeared on the 10-cent coin in 1937. Artist: Emanuel Hahn
• Beaver: The five-cent coin's beaver design dates back to 1937, but the animal is a centuries-old icon that is synonymous with Canada's early history. Artist: G. E. Kruger-Gray
