DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
This is a 1987 Canadian Loonie pulled directly from an original Royal Canadian Mint roll — Brilliant Uncirculated, with full original aureate lustre and no signs of wear or handling. Mint roll coins benefit from never having been individually touched or sorted, making them among the finest examples available for date collectors.
The 1987 loonie holds a very special place in Canadian numismatic history — it is the very first year of issue for the Canadian dollar coin, introduced by the Royal Canadian Mint on June 30, 1987, to replace the one-dollar paper bill. The iconic common loon reverse design by artist Robert-Ralph Carmichael was selected through a national competition, and the coin quickly became one of the most recognized symbols of Canadian identity. The nickname "Loonie" — now universally used — was born with this very issue.
A 1987 loonie in mint roll condition is a true first-year piece with outstanding eye appeal — an essential cornerstone for any Canadian date set or loonie type collection.
Obverse: Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin
