1 coloured toonie


 fresh from a special wrap roll




This 2024  toonie coin is minted in brilliant uncirculated finish and has the (coloured) logo representing the logo of the RCAF along with a Hercules C-130 and the double date.  This coin is taken from a special wrap roll direct from the mint.  It is 28 mm in diameter and weighs 6.99 grams. The outer ring is minted in three ply nickel finish plated steel.  The inner ring is brass-plated aluminum bronze.  Your coin will be protected in a 2 x 2 cardboard holder.  NO CASE OR CERTIFICATE INCLUDED.

Throughout its first century of service (1924-2024), Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) personnel have taken to the skies to assist, defend and represent Canadians, at home and abroad.

As Canada’s Air Force marks its centennial, the $2 100th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force commemorative circulation coin features a design that spans 100 years of RCAF missions, machinery and milestones. Each coin features a colour-enhanced view of the RCAF roundel and the CC-130H Hercules at the centre of the coin, where they’re surrounded by engraved RCAF aircraft representing the past and present.

A special salute to 100 years of RCAF service.

Special features

  • Commemorate the RCAF Centennial. In 2024, we look to the skies to commemorate the Royal Canadian Air Force’s (RCAF) 100 years of service, at home and abroad. The RCAF Centennial is an opportunity to honour the history and heritage of Canada’s Air Force and to recognize its personnel’s national service and contributions to aviation, national security, emergency support and international peace.
  • A century of service captured on a coin. On each $2 commemorative circulation coin’s reverse, the aircraft depicted on the coin represent some of those flown by RCAF personnel, past and present.
  • Uncirculated coins. Your coin comes from a Special Wrap Roll and is uncirculated—having a newly minted quality and features a colour-enhanced reverse design.
  • An inspiring salute. A great gift or keepsake for RCAF personnel (past and present) and their loved ones; for aviation and history enthusiasts; and for all who are inspired by the RCAF’s important legacy of service.


DID YOU KNOW?

The RCAF was formed on April 1, 1924, just 15 years after the first powered, controlled, heavier-than-air flight in Canada in 1909—a reminder of how quickly aviation evolved.

One of the RCAF’s predecessors, the Canadian Air Force, was first granted permission to use the (British) Royal Air Force’s Blue Ensign in 1921, and this was extended to the RCAF upon its formation. Since 1946, RCAF aircraft have been marked with a uniquely Canadian roundel design, which is featured on this $2 coin and many other 2024 RCAF Centennial coins.


PHOTOS:
Note that the photos I post in my listings are all from my own inventory.  However, for items like this one where the products are brand new from the mint and are identical the photo posted in the listing is a STOCK photo meaning that the photos represent the item you will be getting.  Photos are taken in natural light so sometimes there's a slightly WARMER reddish or brownish tone to the photos.....this is just because they're taken in front of a large window in order to represent them to you as honestly as possible. Normally there is almost no difference between the photo you see in the listing and the actual product you are sent. Certificate numbers (if shown in a photo) are an example of something that will not be the same in the item you receive.
