All coins in this fine silver Premium Proof Set exhibit the highest quality finish (Proof) produced by the Royal Canadian Mint:
• Hand Polished! The field (flat background) has a highly hand polished mirror-like finish
• Four finishes! The relief (raised foreground) incorporates the use of four (4) different finishes, which beautifully accentuate the design
• The dies used to strike the coins were polished with a mixture containing diamond powder to ensure that the exquisite details were maintained on the coins during striking
• To maintain the highest quality in this set, only 1000-3000 coins were struck per die
• Individually Pressed! Each of these coins was individually and delicately hand fed into and out of the coining press
• Hi-Def! All coins will have been double struck at lower striking speeds, to give high definition and contrast between the field and the relief (legends & devices)
About the Design:
• Collectors & investors will enjoy the intricate detailing on the Proof Dollar depicting a British sergeant, a Voltigeur Canadien and an Iroquois warrior wearing historically accurate uniforms and approaching the invader with unity of purpose to defend the border and colonies they represent
