The War of 1812 marks an important part of Canadian history in the country\'s evolution from colony to sovereign nation.
This war between Britain and the United States was a fundamental turning point in Canada’s history, a struggle from which some of Canada’s earliest unifying moments emerged. These stories - including that of the Leda-class frigate, HMS Shannon - have become important chapters in the narrative of Canada.
The $2 circulation coin has an image of the British frigate HMS Shannon - to signify the historic capture of the American USS Chesapeake off the coast of Boston in 1813 by HMS Shannon. The defeated warship and her crew were escorted to Halifax, Nova Scotia where the sailors were imprisoned. The damaged ship was repaired and taken into service by the Royal Navy and was later re-named and re-commissioned into the British Navy.
The Royal Canadian Mint released the HMS Shannon $2 coin on June 18, 2012 to commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812.
Four twenty-five cent coins were issued in the War of 1812 circulating coin series, commemorating 200 years since the U.S. declared war on Great Britain.

two-dollar circulation coins are manufactured using the Mint\'s Multi-Ply Plated Steel technology

there are three visible changes:
* The addition of two laser marks of maple leaves, each within a circle, at the bottom of the coin\'s reverse.
* A virtual image of two maple leaves will appear at the top of the coin – a different image is produced as the coin is turned from side to side. The virtual image is produced by engraving different patterns on each side of two-sided grooves on the face of the coin.
* Edge-lettering of the words \"CANADA\" and \"2 DOLLARS\" are engraved along the coin\'s outer edge..
