If you or a loved one is celebrating a special occasion in 2021, coin gift sets are a great way to make it more memorable. This year, the Royal Canadian Mint is releasing new gift sets for sale. Three are designed to mark specific occasions, while the fourth is more general.
Each of the 2021 gift sets includes Brilliant Uncirculated coins in the following denominations:
In addition, each set contains a special commemorative one-dollar coin with an exclusive design by Tony Bianco, a Canadian artist, created especially for 2021. The coin gift sets each come in their own attractive gift-card folder. The following is a guide to each of the sets and what makes each a special gift.
Birthdays
Whether a loved one is celebrating his or her fifth or 50th year, a special birthday coin set from the Royal Canadian Mint makes a thoughtful gift. The card includes a festive picture of birthday decorations on the outside and a celebratory message on the inside. There is a window in the front of the card so that the special birthday dollar coin can be seen even when the card is closed. The simple but elegant design depicts two hands offering a wrapped present to the birthday boy or girl.
Weddings
The dollar coin design for the 2021 wedding gift set is both simple and surprisingly detailed. It depicts the rear end of a vintage car with cans tied to the bumper and two hearts affixed to the trunk to indicate that the occupants are newlyweds departing for their honeymoon. You can make out the treads on the back tires, the exhaust pipe, the brake lights, and even the rearview mirror viewed through the back window.
As for the folder itself, it boasts a gorgeous design of wedding rings and a sprig of baby’s breath. On the inside, there are spaces to personalize the gift with the date of the wedding, the names of the couple, and any other special wishes that you want to include.
New Baby
The birth of a new baby is an occasion of joy and pride for the parents. Nevertheless, it also means a great deal of new responsibility. All of this is expressed sweetly and tenderly in the dollar coin design for this 2021 gift set. It depicts a baby’s hand reaching up toward the outstretched, protective hand of the parent.
This coin set would make a good gift for a new baby from either the parents or another well-wisher close to the family. In either case, there is a space inside to record the particulars of the baby’s birth, including weight, length, time and date of delivery, and of course, the new baby’s name.
O Canada Coin Gift Sets
Your loved one may be having a special occasion that doesn’t fit into one of the other categories. The O Canada set is appropriate for any special occasion. The dollar coin design depicts a hand waving the Canadian flag, evoking a Canada Day celebration but suitable for any celebration. The front of the card folder depicts a comforting image of Canadiana: a bottle of maple syrup. The shape of the bottle mimics a maple leaf, indicative of both the contents of the bottle and the national symbol of Canada. The inside of the folder displays patriotic colors of red and white.
