| Reverse description | Three Canada geese wearing conical party hats gathered around a tiered birthday cake adorned with lit candles at the centre of the field. Festive bunting, streamers, confetti, and stars fill the background, evoking a celebratory atmosphere. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper periphery, while DOLLAR 2026 is inscribed along the lower periphery in bold raised capitals. A continuous inner border of raised beads encircles the design, and the engraver's initials TB appear in the lower right field. |

| Additional information |
Canada's annual birthday dollar series has issued commemorative loonie-format pieces since the 1980s, typically tied to national milestones or cultural themes. A 2026 "Happy Birthday" issue under Charles III is straightforward dynastic housekeeping — the king acceded in September 2022, and the RCM has been systematically updating its commemorative program to reflect the new effigy. Brass-plated steel replaced the original aureate bronze composition in the loonie series as a cost-reduction measure, a transition completed without ceremony or public announcement.
