Canada - Canadian Coins

The Very Highest Quality Canadian Coins...

Canadian Coins Index

The very first coins minted in Canada were tokens issued according to the British pre-decimal currency system, such as copper half-pennies. However, the first official Canadian coins were issued in 1858 using a decimal 'Dollars and Cents' currency in response to demand for a currency that was more compatable with that of the US, with which British North America did much of its foreign trade. Coins have been issued in 1c, 5c, 25c, 50c, $1 (Commonly refered to as the 'loonie' on account of the loon bird portrayed on the reverse) and the $2 (or 'toonie'). The Obverse portrays the Candian Monarch, usually after the design used on British coins issued by the Royal Mint, but since 2003 to a design unique to Canada. Silver was used in Canadian circulation coins as late as 1968, following which Canada was forced to follow the rest of the world in coins in base-metal due to inflation and rising silver prices.
