Are there any other coins where the mint used the same design years down the line? Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 12:46 am Not stupid. The loons mentioned are exactly the same except different. The 1997 shows both legs and is supposed to represent the loon taking off. For 2006 they reversed it, lopped off one leg, and described it as loon landing or something along that line. The voyageur dollar reverse reappeared in 2003 after an absence since 1987. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 11:57 am You're right, it's the same, and it predates the coin by about 10 years. Very interesting piece of Canadian coin trivia. I looked it up and it first appeared on the 1988 BU set, the first to include the loonie.

SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 1:49 pm Noticed the feet are different as DBM says. '97 shows a running loon taking off with right foot trailing in running motion, 2006 both feet forward in stopping/skiing motion, slight difference. Same bird, different feet.
