2017 Canada $50 DC Comics Originals - The Brave & the Bold Silver Reverse Gold Plated Silver (TAX Exempt)
Comics grow up - The Coming of Age DC Comics flourishes during the Bronze Age. Moving away from the more light-hearted plots of the Silver Age, the comic books of this era pushed new boundaries through socially relevant themes, while introducing changes to the characters and their origin stories. This reverse gold-plated, 3 oz. fine silver coin channels the spirit of Bronze Age comics, with a special focus on Superman, Baan and Wonder Woman.
Specifications: Item Number: 161688 Composition: 99.99% pure silver with gold plating Mintage: 3,000 Weight (g): 94.4 Diameter (mm): 55 Face Value: $50 Finish: Proof Edge: Serrated
Packaging: - We're going back to the Bronze Age of Comics to present DC Comics' greatest Super Heroes! - Retro art meets modern techniques on the reverse: traditional engraving brings "Bronze Age" Superman to life as he bursts through the laser-engraved comic book panels…and seemingly off the coin's surface! - Reverse gold plating adds a soft gleam to the reverse - except for Superman at the centre, which shines in fine silver. The golden gleam subtly hints at the aged look of a vintage comic, but with much more vibrancy and a rich luminosity that highlights all the details! - HOME-GROWN TALENT! Canadian creators Jason Fabok, Darwyn Cooke and Tom Grummett have all helped to shape Superman's history as artists/writers! - Seeing is believing: The combination of engraving, plating and finishes creates a sense of motion and adds texture: it looks and feels like Superman is emerging from the coin's flat surface and racing straight toward the viewer! - Truly made by fans FOR the fans: It's a heartfelt salute to the timeless nature of these timeless characters, with all the respect and dedication that only the Royal Canadian Mint can provide.
