Investment Note We generally don't speak of a mint set with such a low price as an investment. However, the Royal Canadian Mint has added a couple of interesting wrinkles—an unbelievably low mintage limit, and special medallion, found only in this set. This 6-Coin Mint Set has a mintage limit of only 500 (and all are individually numbered). That's less than 1% of the total mintage of the standard edition 2013 6-Coin Mint Set! Highly Significant Circulating Coin Designs Polar Bear Canadas bi-metallic two-dollar coin, launched in 1996, features a polar bear, the worlds largest terrestrial carnivore, which can weigh over 1400 pounds (650 kilograms). It lives near the cold seas and frozen ice of Canadas far-north. Common Loon Launched in 1987, the reverse of the one-dollar coin, represents a common loon swimming against the rugged backdrop of the Canadian Shield. The loons haunting calls are one the quintessential sound of the Canadian wilderness in summer. Caribou An enduring symbol of the Canadian north, the majestically-antlered caribou has remained a Canadian icon since first appearing on the twenty-five-cent piece in 1936. Bluenose Schooner In the 1921, Atlantic Canadians built one of the finest racing and fishing vessels in Canadian history, the Bluenose. Known for its speed, and almost unbeatable in a race, this ship first appeared on the ten-cent piece in 1937. Beaver The beaver is Canadas national animal. Highly sought after for its rich fur in the 17th and 18th centuries, it was the mainstay of the colonial economy for centuries. Today, the beaver is revered as a symbol of hard work and perseverance. Obverse The obverse of each coin features the familiar designs found on the regular circulation coins of Canada as described and pictured above. Reverse The reverse of each coin features Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in profile facing right. This portrait, the fourth effigy of the queen to appear on Canadian coinage, was executed by the artist Susanna Blunt. The legend ELIZABETH II D. G. REGINA ("Elizabeth II, Queen by the Grace of God") and mint mark also appear. Packaging The coins are sealed inside an impressive, full color blister pack card depicting vibrantly hued maple leaves. Each set is individually numbered. More than one set is available, so serial numbers will vary.
