About the $1 coin

The gold-coloured $1 non-circulation coin in each 2023 Gift Set (baby, birthday, holiday, and O Canada) showcases a playful moose design, embodying Canada's themes and celebrating its identity.

About the baby moose

Shortly after birth, a baby moose or calf emits a cry that closely resembles that of a human baby. These calves grow astonishingly fast, even outrunning an average person within days of birth. The moose is a cherished symbol of Canada's wildlife and wild spaces, with its distinctive antlers making it one of Canada's most recognizable species.

About the design

The 2023 Baby Gift Coin card set offers an elegant gifting solution. The five non-circulation coins are securely encased in a blister pack within the gift card. For your convenience, a custom-designed envelope is included to simplify the presentation and mailing of your personalized gift.

The front of the package features an image of a small stuffed moose beside stacked ABC blocks. Both are featured against a primarily white background with a pattern of evenly spaced pastel-coloured dots. The "Born in" text and "2023" are in a soft teal colour, creatively enclosing the set's $1 coin within the "0."

Inside the card, the white background carries the pastel dot pattern from the front. The right side of the card displays the reverse sides of the five coins, while the left side features "Special delivery! Welcome to the world" text in teal above a personalization section for the baby's name, delivery date, weight, length, and special wishes.

The rear of the package is white and includes "To" and "From" fields, along with a line-style graphic of three stacked ABC blocks.

The $1 piece: Coin obverse

The obverse of the coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. It also bears a special marking with four pearls, symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins, and the double date of her reign. Around the edge is “Elizabeth II,” “D.G. Regina” and “1952-2022” text.

The $1 piece: Coin reverse

The exclusive $1 non-circulation coin in the Baby Gift Card Set features a reverse design by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn. It depicts a cute and cuddly stuffed moose next to "ABC" wooden blocks, with a maple leaf on the side of the “B” block. “Canada,” “Dollar” and “2023” text surround the edge of the coin.

As we focus our attention on commemorating the reign of Queen Elizabeth II (1952-2022), the Mint will not be issuing any 2023-dated Canadian circulation coins featuring both the traditional reverse designs and an obverse featuring Queen Elizabeth II. Instead, we are offering a collector’s edition of these annual issues that have been struck in limited numbers. These are non-circulation coins, meaning they are legal tender but not intended for general circulation. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
