Special features

  • The CN Tower turns 50. Join us in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the opening of the CN Tower—Canada’s glowing icon that has been lighting up the Toronto skyline and Canadian hearts since 1976.
  • A collecting highlight of 2026. The glow-in-the-dark $2 piece is destined to become one of the most talked-about coins in 2026, and a future favourite among those who appreciate innovation in design.
  • Canada’s second glow-in-the-dark circulation coin. This is only the second time we’ve produced a circulation coin with photo-luminescent (glow-in-the-dark) technology (the first was the 2017 My Canada, My Inspiration $2 coin). 
  • Collect Canada’s circulation coins in 2 versions. You can buy the colourful glow-in-the-dark 50th Anniversary of the CN Tower $2 coins or you can buy the Non-colourized engraved-only $2 coins.
  • Past and present. Toronto’s evolving skyline is represented by the silhouettes engraved on the outer ring, while within the core design, the 1976 cityscape (in black) stands in the shadow of today’s taller skyscrapers (darker blue).
  • Uncirculated coins. These coins are uncirculated: they all have a newly minted quality and feature the same selectively coloured, glow-in-the-dark reverse design.
  • Fun for all ages. Perfect for those who can’t get enough of Toronto’s CN Tower—whether you’ve admired it from afar, from the ground, or even gazed out from its heights. A great way to share your interest in coins with family, friends, and new collectors!
  • Limited supply. Limited to 25,000 rolls.

Day and night

Hold your coin under an ultraviolet light source to activate the photo-luminescent (glow-in-the-dark) technology, then move to a dark room to see the CN Tower and the Toronto skyline lit up at night.

Designed by Canadian illustrator Carl Wiens, the coin’s reverse commemorates the 50th anniversary (“50 YEARS ANS”) of the official opening of the CN Tower (“LA TOUR CN TOWER”) on June 26, 1976. The inner core features a view of the CN Tower overlooking Lake Ontario and dominating a contemporary downtown Toronto skyline, whose tall skyscrapers tower above an outline of the city’s skyline as it appeared in 1976. When the photo-luminescent (glow-in-the-dark) technology is activated on the colourized coin, the scene shows the CN Tower and skyline illuminated at night, reflecting Toronto’s vibrant energy. Additional silhouettes on the outer ring represent five decades of growth and architectural evolution, with the skyline in 1976 appearing on the left and the 2026 cityscape on the right—a visual record of Toronto’s transformation into a modern, world-class city. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.


DID YOU KNOW?

Standing 553.33 metres (1,815 feet, 5 inches) tall, the CN Tower claimed the title of the world’s tallest freestanding structure from 1975 until 2007—it still reigns as the tallest in the Western Hemisphere.




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.
