2015 Canadian $10 DC Comics™ Originals: Gauntlet - 1/2 oz Fine Silver Coloured Coin

2015 Canadian $10 DC Comics™ Originals: Gauntlet - 1/2 oz Fine Silver Coloured Coin

Superman™'s rogues gallery is among the most powerful and ruthless in the DC Comics' universe! Once Krypton's greatest military leader, General Zod was accused of committing crimes against the people of Krypton and was banished to the Phantom Zone, where he joined the likes of Faora and Quex-Ul. Mister Mxyzptlk is a trickster imp with a perplexing name, and hails from the 5th dimension. Brainiac is vastly intelligent and driven by pure, unwavering logic. And finally one of the most iconic villains of all is Lex Luthor; a self-made man, Luthor possesses one of the world's most brilliant minds, but his immeasurable intellect is always in conflict with his equally immeasurable ego.

Features

A FIRST! First-time appearance of villains Mister Mxyzptlk, Brainiac, Quex-Ul, Faora, General Zod and Lex Luthor on a Royal Canadian Mint coin!
While selective colour recreates Superman's classic look, laser engraving technology applied to the secondary characters recreates the look of inked comic book art, while the contrast between sheen and shadows allows the characters to emerge from the background as part of the design's multi-layered feel.
Where the past and present meet! Traditional engraving and finishes meet selective colour and cutting-edge laser engraving, giving this coin depth and the illusion of movement.
Made by fans for the fans! A nod to these classic characters, with all the respect and devotion that only the Royal Canadian Mint can provide!
VINTAGE FEEL EXTENDS TO THE PACKAGING! Each coin in the series comes enclosed in unique packaging that recreates the look of a well-loved comic book—an added nod to the medium that first introduced these characters, but also a fun element that makes this series a one-of-a-kind collecting experience!
Your coin is GST/HST exempt.

Design

Your coin mimics a comic book splash page with a coloured and engraved rendition of Superman, flanked by by those who would seek to destroy him. In mid-flight, the Man of Steel™ is on the defensive as he faces off against his foes: Superman's greatest nemesis, Lex Luthor, is prominent at the far right in his battle suit; Phantom Zone criminals General Zod, Faora and Quex-Ul are above Lex Luthor in an attack position; and a robotic Brainiac flies alongside the diminutive Mister Mxyzptlk to complete the hoard. Also engraved on the reverse within a spiked word balloon are the face value of "10 DOLLARS" and the year "2015".
