400th Anniversary of the Founding of Quebec City
Quebec artist Geneviève Bertrand won a design
competition to create a new reverse of the two-dollar circulation coin
commemorating the 400th anniversary of Quebec City. The date 1608
appeared on the left side of the outer ring, while 2008 appeared on the
right of the ring on this commemorative coin's reverse side. Only six
million of these special coins circulated, in addition to more than 17
million 2008 Toonies produced with the traditional Polar Bear design.
As the date was moved to the reverse side of this commemorative coin, the Mint Mark was moved to the core of the coin on the obverse, to the immediate left of Her Majesty's effigy.
