2023 CANADA INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
DAY TOONIES
Canada
released both color and un-colored versions of their 2023 Two Dollar
coin for Indigenous Peoples Day which fell on June 21, 2023. The day
celebrated the achievements of First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples
in Canada. The reverse of the coin was designed by female
First Nation, Inuit and Metis artists. The three artists
combined images representing their three respective cultures into a
single design. The Canadian mint has not yet created a
Charles III portrait, so the coins continue to use the Susanna Blunt
portrait of Queen Elizabeth along with the dates 1952-2022, thus making
them triple-dated coins.

REMEMBERS THE SUMMIT HOCKEY SERIES
Canada
issued both color and non-colored circulating bi-metallic 2 Dollar
coins in 2022 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of their victory in
the Summit Series ice hockey games against the Soviet Union held in
September 1972. Both nations considered themselves to be the
best in the world. The Summit Series was set to prove it. It
was a series of eight games, the first four held in Canada and the last
four in the Soviet Union. This was during the Cold War. Both
fans and players had intense feelings of nationalism. Canada
went into the series confident they would sweep the series, but it was
not to be. The Soviets were a lot better than they
expected. Going into the final game of the series the games
were evenly split, with three wins and a tie. The Soviets led
in the number of goals scored. An estimated 15 out of 22
million Canadians tuned into the final game. It was a tense
and dramatic game, with Team Canada overcoming a two-goal Soviet lead
after two periods. Canada scored the final game winning goal with just
34 seconds left to play. The coin depicts two Team Canada
players in their distinctive red and white uniforms. The
coaches’ initials and the players’ jersey numbers surround the inner
core. The Royal Canadian Mint pledged that the net
proceeds from the sale of the coins will be donated to the Ukraine
Humanitarian Appeal.

BLUENOSE WITH
2021 DIMES
Canada
celebrated the 100th anniversary of the schooner Bluenose with
three 2021 dimes. Bluenose was launched as a fishing and

reverse of the Canadian dime. It was the year she won her
final race. Fishing schooners were replaced by motorized
trawlers. Bluenose was motorized and in 1942 was stripped of
her masts and rigging and converted to a costal freighter working in
the Caribbean. In 1946, while carrying a load of bananas, she
struck a reef in Haiti and was abandoned. The three versions
of the 2021 Bluenose dime include one with the traditional design with
the dates 1921 2021, one with an updated version showing the ship
cutting through the waves, and a colorized version showing the ship
