[QUOTE="Murillo, post: 26272476, member: 78608"]Thank you, never thought of looking them up on google. I found this information No, the polar bear design on the Canadian 1996 two-dollar coin (toonie) does not depict the bear with three back legs. The design, created by Brent Townsend, features an adult polar bear standing on an ice floe and accurately portrays a polar bear's anatomy with its natural four limbs. There is, however, a known counterfeit version of the 1996 toonie circulating that features a defect on the front right paw, sometimes described as a "split-toe" or "claw," that distinguishes it from a genuine coin. This counterfeit issue is unrelated to the number of legs depicted on the polar bear. But I did look at photo's of this coin and it appears they all look the same as what I have posted.
