| Reverse description | Central design features a striped conical party hat with a tassel finial, flanked by two round balloons, each decorated with a cluster of five-pointed stars, with balloon strings curving into the lower field. The composition evokes a festive birthday celebration rendered in a clean, graphic style suited to the loonie format. The legend 'CANADA' arcs along the upper rim and 'DOLLAR 2019' is inscribed along the lower rim in block capitals, all within a beaded inner border on the eleven-sided flan. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the Royal Canadian Mint's ongoing coloured circulation-quality collector program, this piece was sold directly to the public rather than entering general circulation — a distinction that matters for understanding its survival rate in uncirculated condition. The "Happy Birthday" dollar follows a product line the Mint has leaned on since the early 2000s to generate seigniorage revenue from coins that will spend their lives in greeting card envelopes rather than cash drawers.
