This set of Canadian specimen coins was issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1980. The collection comprises multiple denominations, including two one-dollar coins: a 50 percent silver dollar featuring a polar bear reverse and a nickel dollar with the voyageur design. Other denominations include a nickel 50-cent piece with the Canadian coat of arms, a nickel 25-cent piece with a caribou, a nickel 10-cent piece with a fishing schooner, a nickel 5-cent piece with a beaver, and a bronze one-cent coin with a maple leaf design. The coins are presented in a clear plastic display case housed within a black textured leatherette wallet with a silver-toned maple leaf emblem and a red satin interior.
