The Set
This set was produced to commemorate the two dollars coin replacing the two dollars bank note. The bi-metallic two dollars coin was issued on 19th February 1996. The set is in a blue presentation box and includes a certificate providing information about the coin and note, as well as proof that the set is limited to 30,000 worldwide. The literature is proided in both English and French.

Proof Coin
"Proof" coins are specially struck with great care and attention. The dies are highly polished on the flat surfaces, with a frosted finish on the design, the blanks from which the coins are struck are also polished before striking (minting), so that the finished coins show their designs to the absolutely best effect. The raised relief parts of the design have a frosted finish, and stand out from the background (field) which has a mirror finish.

The proof two dollars coin in this set features "an adult polar bear in early summer, hunting along the edge of an ice floe" designed by wildlife artist Brent Townsend.

Bank Note
The note included in this set, printed for the Bank of Canada, is in plastic casing, ensuring it is kept in a new perfect state. The reverse features "two robins against a stylized sky incorporating the word Canada".
