(old and new bust only appear in the same year in 2003 - from then on: new bust. before them, old bust - to avoid confusion, since the new bust shows an old queen, I call the new bust "BUQ" for b**t ugly queen - since she looks like Nixon)
2000 W (bear reverse) was distributed only in the PL sets as the one you have. Note that PL sets came in different forms and shapes - please refer to Charlton if you are interested to know all the possible presentations. (I only collect the coins, I unceremoniously throw away all packaging). In 2000 you will also find the 2000 (bear reverse) without the Mint mark - in PL sets as well
the W Mint mark (for Winnipeg) only appears in PL sets - and for 2003 only the BUQ obverse has it.
(to make things clearer, the knowledge twoonie is dated 2000 (why "knowledge is represented by a bear and 2 cubs is beyond my understanding) not 2003.)
RFB.......KOATT keeper of all things Twoonie........is a handle of admiration and appreciation given to T.Y. on another website. Well earned and justified..........And he is not shy.......ROFL
