2022 Canada: Circulation & 50¢ Special
6 Pieces — First Strike & Special Roll — High Quality BU
Collection description
This set brings together the finest examples of the 2022 mintage. The First Strike series guarantees that the circulating coins come from the very first dies of the year, offering superior engraving definition and relief sharpness. The set is completed by the 50-cent coin, taken from a special roll to ensure "High Quality" grade preservation, thus maintaining its original luster.
The Obverse (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II)
All the coins feature the classic effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. Thanks to their "First Strike" status, the portrait is rendered with exceptional precision, capturing every detail of the engraving with a clarity not found on circulating coins.
