2018 Canada Loonie Colorized

It has a "P" mint mark because it came from Australia's Perth Mint. Other coins that came from the Royal Canadian Mint have the RC mint mark, or simply one at all. Happy Holidays!

thank you so much. I could not understand why that P would be there. I like what I have found on this coin. it has a DDD obverse. I was hope for this, here is the image.

the gold weight would be negligible as there is very little actual gold used in gold plating.

What about the 2003 WP mark?

The 2012 silver-plated loon dollar had a complex mark as well.

DBM - don't kid yourself if you think the RCM actually cares, or is educated on, our hobby...

Here is what the RCM has used on coins as far as Mint Marks and Privy's.

A - Used on 2005 palladium test coin to signify the coins were struck from Lot A.
B - Used on 2005 palladium test coin to signify the coins were struck from Lot B.
C - Placed on sovereigns produced at the Ottawa branch of The Royal Mint, between 1908 and 1919.
Dot - In December 1936, King Edward VIII abdicated the throne in favour of his brother, who became King George VI. The problem was that The Royal Mint had been designing the effigy of King Edward VIII, and now a new effigy had to be created. The 1¢, 10¢ and 25¢ pieces in 1937 were struck from dies with a 1936 date on the reverse. To distinguish that these coins were issued in 1937, a Dot Mint Mark was placed on the 1936 dies, beneath the year. These coins fulfilled demand for coins until new coinage tools with the effigy of King George VI were ready. While the 10¢ and 25¢ coins are more common, the 1¢ coins are rare, with about a half-dozen known to exist. The dot after the date on the 1937 5¢ coin is a mint error caused by a chip in the master dies.
H - Used to identify coins that were struck for Canada by the Birmingham Mint, also known as the Heaton Mint, until 1907.
Innukshuk - All circulation coins for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics have the Innukshuk Mint Mark on the obverse of the coin.
International Polar Year - The obverse of the 2007 International Polar Year $20 numismatic coin has the logo for the International Polar Year on the obverse of the coin.
Man Becomes Mountain (Symbol of Paralympics) - All circulation coins for the 2010 Vancouver Paralympics have the Paralympic Games logo on the obverse of the coin.
Maple Leaf - All coins with a Maple Leaf Mint Mark were struck in 1948 due to an emergency with coin toolage. The granting of India's independence resulted in the removal of IND:IMP (meaning Emperor of India) from King George VI's effigy. Due to the demand for circulation coins in 1948, coins for 1948 could not be struck until the new tools were received. The new tools would have the IND:IMP removed from them. In the meanwhile, coins were produced in 1948 with a year of 1947 on them. Referred to as the 1947 Maple Leaf, a small Maple Leaf Mint Mark was struck beside 1947 on the reverse of all coins to signify the year of production.
P - From 2001 to 2006, most 1¢, 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, and 50¢ coins issued for circulation were struck with a P Mint Mark to represent the Royal Canadian Mint's plating process.
RCM Logo - At the CNA Convention in July 2006, the RCM unveiled its new privy mark to be used on all circulation and numismatic coinage. The agenda behind the implementation of this new privy mark was to help increase the RCM's image as a brand. The aim of the logo is to educate coin users and coin collectors, respectively, that the RCM is minting Canada's coins. The first circulation coin to have this new mint mark is the 10th anniversary $2 coin. The first numismatic coin to have this new marking is the Snowbirds coin and stamp set.[52]
T/e - In an effort to push the standard of quality higher, the RCM started to experiment with a gold bullion coin that would have a purity of 99.999%. The result was a Gold Maple Leaf test bullion coin with the mint mark of T/e (to signify test/epreuve). The date on the obverse of the coin was 2007 and it had a mintage of 500.
Teddy bear - When the RCM released its Baby Lullabies and CD Set, a sterling silver $1 coin was included in the set. The $1 coin included a privy mark of a teddy bear.
W - Used occasionally on specimen sets produced in Winnipeg, starting in 1998.
W/P - Used on the special edition uncirculated set of 2003. The W mint mark indicates that the coin was produced in Winnipeg and the P indicates that the coins are plated.

i have been on the phone with the mint. what has been explained to me. I can tell this here. the loonie is made of pure fine silver. it is coated with pure gold. the mint mark represents. the fact that is gold plated. they apologize for the fact. that this was not listed. as it should have been on the coa. they said the toonie. should have been listed as well on the coa. plus it is minis the plating stamp. because the core is gold plated. thank me for bring that. to there attention.
