From what I can deduce, I'm guessing a coin about WW1 as seen in the calendar of releases on the Mint's WW1 page. http://www.mint.ca/store/product/mi...irstWorldWarI'm guessing something about mobilization with a colored design on both sides? A hologram coin? |

I agree, Winnie the Pooh coin....i believe a silver coin, with perhaps a gold plated Winnie.

The Fort Garry Horse will present six Winnie the Bear stuffed animals to Prince Charles for his grandchildren. Dr. Harry Colebourn, a veterinarian who served with the Fort Garry Horse in the First World War, brought the live Winnie the bear to England while he was serving and gave him to the London Zoo.

No idea what the coin is going to be. Hopefully something I find ugly so I am not tempted to buy any more coins this month.
I did not receive an email about it (and for what it is worth I apparently do have a rep).

If it is a Pooh coin, there will be surely a lot of them. Superman all over...

It's silver, it's colorful and it's connected to the Royal Duchess' 12:15pm itinerary stop.

Finally just received the email from rep regarding this ballet coin, although a respected Canadian operation, just another endless theme with a cheap looking box. As an example just received some mickey mouse coin from New Zealand mint beautiful packaging but a mickey mouse mint.

Ballet coin music box - not on anybody's radar -
Could this be a new "musical box" series?
Perhaps the "winnie bear" is coming as part of the June releases.
