2017 Canada Snow Goose Specimen Set

2017 Canada Snow Goose Specimen Set

The year 2017 marks the 150th Anniversary of Confederation. To honour this historic occasion the Royal Canadian Mint's 2017 specimen set pays tribute to a Canadian icon with a one-dollar coin featuring the beloved snow goose in a dramatic pose, preparing to land on a quiet northern lake. And it's only available with this special set!
