1987 Canadian Loonie Dollar Coin - History and Design #43978 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing depicts the reverse side of Canada’s 1987 one-dollar coin, famously called the “loonie” for its central image of a common loon. Designed by Robert-Ralph Carmichael, the coin replaced the paper dollar and became a national symbol, minted in aureate-plated nickel. The inscription “CANADA” arcs above, with “1987 DOLLAR” below the scene.

Used on numismatic websites, museum exhibits, educational pages about Canadian currency, or collector guides; matches user intent to identify, value, or learn the history of the loonie.
