| Beschrijving keerzijde | A common loon depicted in a dynamic settling posture upon rippled water, serving as a goodwill talisman for Canadian athletes at the 2006 Turin Winter Olympic Games. The official Olympic rings logo appears above the bird, flanked by the inscription CANADA arcing along the upper periphery, with the denomination DOLLAR and date 2006 completing the legend. The designer's initials JLG appear in the lower field. The composition is rendered in a naturalistic style consistent with the standard circulation loonie series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Lucky Loonie" program began at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, when a Royal Canadian Mint employee secretly embedded a loonie beneath center ice at the hockey venue. Canada swept both the men's and women's gold medals, and the coin became an instant piece of sports mythology. By 2006, the RCM had formalized the concept into a licensed product, striking special loonies explicitly marketed around the Turin Winter Games.
Canada won seven medals at Turin, though the hockey program — the original source of the superstition — failed to medal at all.
