| Reverse description | A large maple leaf in the foreground is depicted in high relief against a background of additional overlapping maple leaves, evoking the iconic imagery of the Canadian loon dollar's heritage in an artistic, stylized composition. The engraver's initials AG appear to the lower left of the central device. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper border within a beaded inner circle, while DOLLAR 2015 is inscribed along the lower border, all set within the coin's distinctive eleven-sided field. |

| Additional information |
The "Ô Canada" gift sets were introduced by the Royal Canadian Mint as a retail product aimed squarely at the tourist and gift market — shrink-wrapped patriotism at a modest premium. The 2015 series coincided with the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown and Quebec Conferences, which the Mint marked across several collector products that year. This dollar came packaged alongside the circulating denominations in a folder format designed for point-of-sale display at airports and attractions.
Three-ply brass-plated steel was adopted for the loonie in 1997, replacing the original aureate bronze-plated nickel to reduce production costs without sacrificing appearance.
