when reading the descriptions of the 2 coins in the KM catalog, edt 8, I can see absolutely NO difference between the 2 coins...
The km631 has no images in the catalog, and the km836 has only one of the ice bear, which corresponds 100% to the km836 I sent the images of! In numismaster it's the same.
So we'll have to find a specialist on Canadian coins to get the answer, I believe?
In the comments field I see 631 is listed with a mint mark and date at top. 836 says no logo/mint mark and lists the date at the bottom.
If I remember correctly, at a certain point the "L" mint mark was replaced by the RCM logo.
To me, everything about the image on 863 is wrong. Add that to the fact that it is listed as non-circulating and the image is clearly very, very worn.

I thought there are only 3 circulation designs for $2 in 2006. Just 2006 top with logo on bottom, just 2006 on bottom with maple leaf on top and this one with 1996 - 2006 on it and the rays above polar bear. I have no idea which would be the fourth design. Not to mention, the title says 2009 ...? Numista now has four catalogue entries for 2006, two have identical pictures.
I think the 2009 was an "oops" in the title. If you click on the link, you can see the two different 1996-2006 issues. The bears are completely different. Basically the image for 836 needs to be removed as it is incorrect. The coin itself does however exist.

Hi, sorry for getting to this late, but there should be four different designs of the toonie from this year. The missing picture should have the double date at the bottom of the coin.
Citação: torontokubaIt is not a circulation piece. PL I think from Specimen Set...
Mintage was limited to 40 000, I think only 36 000+ were minted. Here is a photo I found...
^ The above coin is the one that is missing, hopefully someone can eventually add a proper picture. Also, the coin did circulate. Strangely, I haven't managed to ever find it in circulation (I've found the other three) but the relatively low (5 million) mintage may explain that.
Hopefully that all makes sense, and if there are any other questions about coins in the Canadian catalogue feel free to message me as I'll probably see those way before forum posts.
according to my 2010 charlton catalogue it's 5 000 500 for the one with the double date at the bottom. However, it is very possible that there's a mistake or something because for the coin with the rays above the polar bear, it lists the mintage as 'N/A'
It's hard to know everything with all these modern varieties :(
