DETAILED DESCRIPTION:

This listing includes the complete matched pair of 2022 "Oscar Peterson" commemorative Canadian one-dollar loonie rolls — one roll of 25 non-coloured loonies and one roll of 25 coloured loonies — both in Brilliant Uncirculated condition from original Royal Canadian Mint special wrap rolls. The definitive collector format for this celebrated musical tribute issue.

Honouring the legendary Oscar Peterson — Montreal-born jazz pianist and one of the most technically gifted musicians of the 20th century — this commemorative loonie pays tribute to a true Canadian icon. Known worldwide as the "Maharaja of the keyboard," Peterson won eight Grammy Awards including a Lifetime Achievement Award, recorded over 200 albums, and performed alongside virtually every major jazz figure of his era. His artistry transcended genre and borders, bringing Canada to the global stage through the universal language of music.

The coloured roll features vibrant colour application on the reverse, evoking the warmth and brilliance of Peterson's performances, while the non-coloured roll presents the same design in classic aureate finish — giving collectors both interpretations in a single matched pair. This complete set is the ideal format for collectors who want the full story of this issue in one acquisition.

Both rolls carry the profound added significance of being among the very last loonie rolls struck under the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II — who passed away in September 2022 — a once-in-a-generation royal transition that makes all 2022 commemorative issues uniquely collectible as last-year QE II pieces. Oscar Peterson himself was a recipient of the Order of Canada and deeply connected to the Canadian identity that Queen Elizabeth II represented — making this pairing all the more historically resonant.

Obverse: Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt — last year of QE II effigy
Reverse: Oscar Peterson commemorative design — non-coloured (Roll 1) and coloured (Roll 2)
Diameter: 26.5 mm | Weight: 6.27 g per coin | Composition: Aureate-Bronze Plated Steel
Roll Contents: 2 rolls × 25 coins = 50 coins total | Total Face Value: $50.00

Both rolls in original mint special wrap — all 50 coins untouched and in pristine BU condition. The complete matched Oscar Peterson loonie set — a musical legend and a royal era, captured together in one definitive collector pair.
