The coin, which is inspired by the 1943-45 Victory Nickel, features a large 'V' for 'Victory' on the inner core, a flaming torch, maple leaves, and the dates 1945 and 2020. The original Victory Nickel message 'We win when we work willingly' is also included in the outer ring of the coin in Morse code.

All of this is reminiscent of the call to support the war effort back in the day.

'For nearly six years, Canadians serving in uniform or chipping in at home played a vital role in achieving a hard-won peace,' said Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence Lawrence MacAulay in a press release.

'They have our enduring thanks, and I hope we can all live up to that legacy as this coin changes hands from one generation to the next.'

This comes just a month after another commemorative toonie was released featuring a design by late Haida artist Bill Reid.

Royal Canadian Mint marks 100 years since B.C. artist Bill Reid’s birth

If you’re a coin collector — or perhaps you’re given an allowance in toonies — there are two new special edition coins you should watch out for.

Starting today, the Royal Canadian Mint is putting new toonies in circulation to mark 100 years since B.C. artist Bill Reid’s birth.

Reid was a Haida artist. The Haida are a group of Indigenous people living in the Haida Gwaii archipelago, a group of islands off the coast of British Columbia.

The $2 coins are branded with an image Reid painted on a ceremonial drum in 1998 called Xhuwaji, Haida Grizzly Bear.

Here are the new coins to watch for:

The Haida grizzly bear was a favourite character of Reid’s and continues to act as an important symbol for the Haida Nation.

And now that symbol serves as the design.

Each year, the Royal Canadian Mint creates special circulation coins. This year, it is a $2 Bill Reid commemorative circulation coin. (Image credit: Royal Canadian Mint)

Reid died in 1998 of Parkinson's disease.

In his lifetime, he created more than 1,500 pieces of art, ranging from jewelry to monumental carvings and sculptures.

“Thanks to his timeless art, the artists who he inspired and apprenticed, and his role in introducing the world to Haida art and culture, he will never be forgotten and will forever be celebrated.” - Royal Canadian Mint

His work is known to have helped bring global recognition and respect to Northwest Coast art.

Hoping to get your hands on one of these unique coins?

There are three million new toonies in circulation as of today, two million of which are in full colour.
