A Canadian two-dollar coin lying flat on a dark wooden surface. The coin is bimetallic, with a gold-coloured centre and a silver-coloured outer ring. In the centre is an engraved polar bear walking on ice, with mountains in the background. The outer ring is inscribed with the words “CANADA” at the top and “2 DOLLARS” at the bottom. The coin is centered in the frame, with soft lighting and a slight vignette darkening the edges of the image.
