Reverse description
Enhanced with lenticular technology to create the illusion of motion, the coin’s reverse features a joyous and carefree winter scene designed by illustrator Emily Chen. Churchill the polar bear, the Toonie’s ($2 coin) mascot, is seen sliding down and around a tree with two friends – a beaver (top) and a rabbit (middle) – while a caribou grazes in the background. When the coin is tilted, a second image is revealed as the fun intensifies: the beaver is sliding down on his tummy, the rabbit is gliding around the swaying tree, and Churchill’s fast descent has caused him to lose his toque.
