| Reverse description | A solitary polar bear strides left across an Arctic landscape, rendered in fine detail within the brass-plated aluminium bronze centre. The animal is depicted amid ice floes with a suggestion of distant hills in the background field. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper portion of the outer ring, while 2 DOLLARS arcs along the lower portion, both in bold raised lettering. The engraver's initials BT appear at the lower right of the central core. The contrasting finishes of the bimetallic construction enhance the visual separation between the design elements. |

| Additional information |
Canada's first bimetallic toonie bearing Charles III's effigy, issued following his formal accession after Elizabeth II's death in September 2022. The Royal Canadian Mint moved quickly to update circulation and collector coinage across all denominations, though the changeover involved retooling dies across multiple production lines simultaneously — a logistical undertaking not faced since the transition from George VI to Elizabeth II in 1953.
