Along with the $1 coin there are this year’s $2, 25¢, 10¢, and 5¢ uncirculated coins. A birthday-day themed card holds the five coins.
Canadian 2015 Baby Gift Set
Ali Giroux created a very precious design for the reverse of the $1 coin found in the 2015 Baby Gift Set. It offers the likeness of an adorable stuffed teddy bear.
The $1 coin is attached to the presentation envelop along with the $2, 25¢, 10¢, and 5¢ uncirculated coins. These make an ideal gift for the newborn of 2015 and their parents.
