How many were struck
Reported mintage, 2024
That is the 10th lowest of the 29 years in which the Mint reports striking a 2-dollar coin, in a range running from 1,045,000 to 375,483,000. Mintage is a count of coins made, not of coins that survive: the Mint has no way of knowing how many of these were later returned and melted, and for a silver denomination in the 1960s that number is large.
Portrait on the obverse
Charles III
Another Canadian artist, Steven Rosati, designed the first effigy of His Majesty King Charles III accompanied by the words CHARLES III D G REX. His Majesty’s profile faces left, in keeping with the longstanding tradition of facing in the opposite direction to their immediate predecessor.
