Numismatic Coins Issued by the Royal Canadian Mint
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One of the most highly profitable aspects of the Royal Canadian Mint’s enterprise is in its Numismatic product line. <1> One could argue that the first Numismatic coin from RCM was the 1935 dollar to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of His Majesty King George V. This was meant for circulation but it was the first Canadian coin which commemorated a special event. The decision to issue this coin was made in October 1934 by then-Prime Minister R.B. Bennett. <2> There were economic and patriotic incentives for the release of a silver dollar. The belief was that the silver mining industry would receive a boost. The interest would be generated from a circular advertising its intention to produce the coin. In future years, this piece would have a more emotional meaning for many Canadians because it was also the first coin to have the Voyageur motif on its reverse.
Most numismatists agree that the first true numismatic collection was the Olympic Five and Ten Dollar coins for the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Starting in 1973, the RCM issued four coin sets (two five dollar coins and two ten dollar coins). At the behest of the Federal Government, led by then-Prime Minster Pierre Elliott Trudeau, it was agreed that these coins would help finance while commemorate the 1976 Summer Olympics. The plan was to have thirty coins, twenty-eight silver coins with face values of $5 and $10, and two gold coins. Due to the incredibly high mintage (over 20 million coins were produced), these coins have no investment value whatsoever. Most of these coins today are usually sold for their silver content. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Canadian_Mint_Olympic_Coins for coin specifications
After the Olympic coin venture, the numismatic line expanded to include $100 Gold coins. These were premium coins that sold for higher than face value. The common issue price from 1977 to 1979 ranged from $140 to $180. The cases for these coins tended to be brown or black leatherette cases with maroon or blue inserts, and a Certificate of Authenticity. Of all these coins, the only one that had any significant increase in value on the secondary market was the 2002 Alberta Strikes Oil coin.
Heading into the 1980's, the Olympics would return to Canada. The city of Calgary would host the 1988 Winter Olympics. Starting in 1985, the Federal Government, under the leadership of then-Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, issued a ten coin set to help finance and commemorate the Olympic games. These coins were issued in Proof quality only, and were sold with the partnership of the Royal Bank of Canada. Part of the agreement with Royal Bank was that these coins could be redeemed for their face value. Unlike the Montreal coins, mintage was limited to 5,000,000 coins and this would mark the first time that any silver coin had edge lettering on it. Said lettering was 'XV OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES - JEUX D'OLYMPIQUES D'HIVER.' Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Canadian_Mint_Olympic_Coins for coin specifications
The Birth of Luxury Coins
Expansion in the numismatic line was a key element of the 1990's. The first significant sign was the birth of the Two Hundred Dollar Gold coins. Starting in 1990, this coin was sold for a higher price than its face value. The first coin commemorated the Silver Jubilee of Canada's flag and sold for $395.00. The superstar of this collection would be the Canadian Native Cultures and Traditions coins. These coins were minted from 1997 to 2000. The Haida coin has been an award winning coin for the RCM taking the Best Coin Award at the 1997 Singapore International Coin Show. <3>
This was only the beginning for the RCM. The advent of the Two Hundred Dollar Gold series was quickly joined by a Platinum series. These high quality collector coins solidifed the RCM's entry into the luxury coin market. A four coin set with face values of $30, $75, $150, and $300 respectively were complemented by the high quality artwork that adorned these luxury items. Famed artists such as Robert Bateman and Glen Loates contributed to these collections with polar bear and bird designs. The issue price for these collections was around $1,990 and the casing was a walnut or burgundy (for 1994) case with a black suede four hole insert and a Certificate of Authenticity.
Expansion and Innovation
A long overdue project was launched in 1995 when fifty cent coins became part of the numismatic line. For decades, fifty cent coins were part of the standard sets but were never really marketed as their own numismatic product. Truly a favourite among collectors, the Discovering Nature Series marked the first numismatic coins with a face value of fifty cents. Marketed as a 32 coin set with one set released on an annual basis, the decade would close with another fifty cent series. A coin set to honour Canadian sports first was released.
The decade also saw the birth of several new coin series which used innovative techniques that had never been before. These techniques were the use of a gold cameo in the coin. The first set that was part of this great innovation was the Aviation Collection, which debuted in 1990. The Canadian aviation heroes were commemorated on a twenty coin set. A RCM first was the fact that every coin in the collection consisted of a 24 karat gold covered oval cameo portrait of the aviation hero. The coin itself featured a different plane ranging from the Gypsy Moth to the legendary Avro Arrow. These were proof coins while the case of issue was an aluminum case in the shape of a wing.
A new coin series which not only increased awareness in the RCM but acknowledged Canada's cultural differences was launced near the end of the decade. The Chinese Lunar New Year Collection debuted in 1998 with the Year of the Tiger coin. The centre featured the fierce Tiger in a gold plated cameo while the rim found the Tiger surrounded by all twelve animal zodiacs. All the images from this collection are courtesy of artist Harvey Chan. With a face value of $15, this set will see its end in 2009 with the Year of the Ox.
The Millennium
The euphoria surrounding the year 2000 led to the birth of the Millennium 25-cent coin program. The numismatic line included proof quality coins sold individually or as a complete set. This level of excess would come to signify the coming decade. The number of numismatic releases would increase on an annual basis starting in 2003.
Numismatic three cents, five cents, and ten cents would be introduced, along with numismatic three dollars and eight dollars. Luxury coins would not be immune to the dramatic increases that ensued. Coins with face values of 250, 300 and 350 dollars would be introduced by 2006.
A new trend for the RCM would emerge with the design of the numismatic three cent coin. The three cent coin was packaged in a coin and stamp set as part of a joint venture with Canada Post. This partnership would lead to another nine coin and stamp sets in the decade.
The new decade would come to be identified by the commitment to military and Olympic coins as well. Every single one of the numismatic five cent coins paid tribute to some aspect of Canada's military.
