DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
This is the 2017 "Dance of the Spirits" Canadian two-dollar toonie graded NGC MS66 — Gem Uncirculated — a certified gem example of one of the most technologically innovative and visually spectacular commemorative coins ever issued for circulation by the Royal Canadian Mint, permanently housed in an NGC slab.
MS66 on the NGC scale represents exceptional gem quality — full original lustre with only the most minimal contact marks, placing this coin among the finest certified examples of this issue available anywhere. For a circulation-format toonie to achieve MS66, it must have been handled with extraordinary care from the moment it left the mint — making certified gems of this issue genuinely rare finds.
The 2017 "Dance of the Spirits" toonie was issued to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary of Confederation — one of the most significant milestones in Canadian history — and features the Royal Canadian Mint's groundbreaking glow-in-the-dark technology applied directly to a circulation coin for the first time. The inner core of the coin is adorned with a stunning Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) design that glows green and blue in the dark after exposure to light — a breathtaking technical achievement that captured worldwide attention and made this toonie one of the most talked-about coins of 2017.
The design, inspired by Indigenous art and the natural wonder of Canada's northern skies, depicts figures dancing beneath the aurora — a poetic and deeply Canadian image celebrating both the natural beauty of the country and the cultural richness of its Indigenous peoples. Combined with the Canada 150 anniversary context, this is a coin of extraordinary commemorative depth.
