Good Evening everyone and Happy thanksgiving everyone.

I got a toonie today and I kept it cause it looked special. It look very matt and I see it is not just regular circulating coins so I am suspecting it might be the German Planchet variety.

Here is the pictures of the toonie

If I had better cell phone camera I could show the grains on the coins and its shines on the bear and queen.

I would like to double check whether this is the 1996 Toonie German Planchet.

Thank you,

Kay Kwon

Check front paw if it looks like a claw. It's fake. Can't tell from pic but I think it's fake

It is just a worn 1996 specimen toonie, the German planchette variety I believe didn't look much different then a normal circulation toonie and after circulation it is very difficult to tell. This is definitely a specimen toonie.

I believe this is a specimen due to the finish on the reverse. I have found a German planchet in the wild if you search here you will see my photos.
