Canada has a new toonie inspired by legendary theater production

Whether you’re a collector or not, it’s hard not to get into the festive spirit with the latest $2 coin in the shape of a popular character from a beloved ballet.

The latest release from the Royal Canadian Mint is sure to spread some Christmas cheer: a toonie in the shape of The Nutcracker Sugar Plum Fairy.

The mint previously released other coins The Nutcracker series, including the soldier Clara and the Mouse King, all of which are now sold out. The Sugar Plum Fairy is the newest and final addition to this enchanting set.

“The character of the Sugar Fairy is known around the world for her captivating solo performance, impeccably timed to Tchaikovsky’s celebrated composition The dance of the Sugar Fairy” reads the website.

“Beautiful, loyal and kind, the Sugar Fairy ruled over the Prince’s wintry kingdom, populated by sweets and candies, after a magical spell turned him into a wooden nutcracker soldier.”

The coin weighs 1 oz and is made of 99.9 percent pure silver. On the back, the character wears a pink dress and matching ballet shoes, while her purple fairy wings certainly add a touch of magic. The obverse features a portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth.

It retails for $149.95 and is limited to just 2,500. It is packaged in a booklet with details about the popular fictional character. The Sugar Plum Fairy coin also comes with a custom ornament-style capsule, making it easy to hang or display.

Shipping will begin on November 20th, which will hopefully be enough time to arrive in time for the holidays and decorate mantles and Christmas trees across Canada.
