2022 $1 The Bigger Picture The Loon Pure Silver Coin Royal Canadian Mint

  

Large format dollar coins from the Royal Canadian Mint are always highly sought after, and this 2022 five ounce fine silver dollar coin was an immediate RCM sell-out. The coin is one of the highlights of a series called "The Bigger Picture" which zooms in on Canada's classic circulation coin designs and zooms out to reveal a much bigger story. Mintage is limited to only 1,300. This loon design re-imagines Canada's one dollar circulation coin, shifting the focus to the loon. The classic loon dollar makes up part of the design with a selective gold plated finish, while the balance of the engraved art showcases an adult loon and chicks in the shallows of a Canadian lake.

The obverse features a maple leaf pattern and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
