| Reverse description | The reverse features a central design of a stacked arrangement of wrapped gift boxes tied with a decorative ribbon and bow, rendered in clean, stylized relief against a flat field. A beaded inner border frames the design, encircling the entire composition. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper periphery, while DOLLAR 2017 is inscribed along the lower periphery, all in upright serif lettering. The design commemorates a birthday gift theme, consistent with its inclusion in the Royal Canadian Mint Birthday Gift Set. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the Royal Canadian Mint's ongoing series of collector-oriented circulation dollars, this piece marks no specific historical event — the "Happy Birthday" theming is a greeting-card concept applied to legal tender, a product line the RCM has pursued aggressively since the early 2000s to capture the gift and novelty market. Mintage was limited and the coins were sold in presentation packaging rather than released through normal banking channels.
