Born in 2023 - Baby Gift Card Set

Perfect for a baby shower or newborn gift, the 2023 Baby Gift Card Set is a sweet keepsake that preserves the joy and excitement of today so it can be treasured and remembered for years to come. All five non-circulation coins in this set—including its adorable “little moose” $1 coin (a set exclusive)—are presented in gender-neutral packaging that makes it part gift, part greeting card. Inside, there’s space for you to personalize your gift by writing a heartfelt message to baby, sibling(s), parents and/or grand-parents, along with baby’s name and measurements at birth.

A unique way to mark the birth of a child in 2023!

As we focus our attention on commemorating the reign of Queen Elizabeth II (1952-2022), the Mint will not be issuing any 2023-dated Canadian circulation coins featuring both the traditional reverse designs and an obverse featuring Queen Elizabeth II. Instead, we are offering a collector’s edition of these annual issues that have been struck in limited numbers. These are non-circulation coins, meaning they are legal tender but not intended for general circulation. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.

Special Features

• Welcome to the world! Welcome your little bundle of joy and celebrate the birth of a new baby in 2023 with this sweet, thoughtful and affordable five-coin gift set.
• Mark the date! Each Gift Card Set features five (5) 2023-dated Canadian non-circulation coins: 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents and 2 dollars, as well as a special-themed one-dollar coin.
• Exceptionally rare! This is an easy way to acquire a 2023-dated version of the traditional reverse designs of Canadian coinage ($2, 25¢, 10¢, 5¢), in a year when these are only available as non-circulation coins.
• A moose mascot for 2023! The $1 non-circulation coin in each 2023 Gift Set (Baby, Birthday, Holiday and O Canada) features a fun moose design that reflects the theme and represents the spirit of Canada. The moose is a popular symbol of this country’s wildlife and wild spaces, and its antlers make it one of Canada’s most recognizable species!
