1994-1995 Canada Two Dollar Test Token with COA

In 1996, the new $2 coin will be introduced and the $2 bank note will no longer be produced.

Quantities for sale are limited to 20,000 test tokens worldwide.

This rarely-seen test token is an exclusive collectors item which is now part of Canadian currency history.
