Rare 1996 Canadian German Planchet Toonie.

This is a 1996 circulated German Planchet Toonie. Great condition A "German planchet" Canada two-dollar coin, also known as a "Toonie," refers to a specific variety of the 1996 Canadian two-dollar coin that was struck using planchets (coin blanks) purchased from a German supplier, Deutsche Nickel.  These coins are distinguished by their matte-like, dull finish, unlike the shiny, polished finish of those struck on Canadian planchets. The German planchets were acquired to meet the production demand for the newly introduced Toonie.
