2018 Canadian R&D Security Test 6-Token Special Edition Set

 

An exclusive first look at the future of coinage

From innovative metal compositions to industry-leading security features, we're engineering change. This 6-token set is your first look at some of the never-before-seen technology developed at our R&D facility in Winnipeg. All six tokens were used in laboratory and calibration testing; they are the prototypes of innovation, with features such as hidden micro text, incuse and raised elements, and even a patented tri-metallic combination—a world first that is waiting in the wings.

Add this “sneak peek” at the next generation of coinage to your collection today!

A GLIMPSE OF FUTURE POSSIBILITIES! These are tried, tested and true examples of forward-thinking technology that could re-define future domestic or foreign coins.
EACH ONE IS AN ACTUAL TEST SPECIMEN! All six tokens in this set are test specimens that come direct from the Royal Canadian Mint's R&D facility, where each one was used in laboratory and calibration testing.
DRIVING INNOVATION WITH ENHANCED SECURITY FEATURES! Whether it's hidden micro text, incuse/raised elements or patented tri-metal technology, each token is a first-hand look at some of our ever-expanding slate of special features that have contributed to the Royal Canadian Mint's reputation as a market leader in security.
