In 2006, the Royal Canadian Mint produced a new sterling silver dollar designed to mark the birth of a new child.  This special edition version of the coin comes together with a silver plated picture frame and a lullabies music CD.

Although the Royal Canadian Mint likely anticipated that this would primarily be a gift item, most collectors of Canadian silver dollars are also seeking to add this attractive and likely low mintage coin to their collections.  The coin is the absolute best quality produced by the Mint – double struck frosted cameo proof.   Official mintage as set out in the RC M annual report is only 18,103 (about the same as the 1948 silver dollar with a mintage of 18,780).

The Design: 

The coin features a traditional loon design together with a teddy bear, a crescent moon and several stars, and is set into an attractive display presentation.
