RCM Color Embellished Low Mintage Commemoratives

Royal Canadian Mint Color Embellished Low Mintage Commemorative Coins

The coins offered in this Department have been selected for the use of color with unique designs, superior quality, and low mintages.  While these coins are outstanding additions to any coin collection, the artistic use of color is appealing to people everywhere.  These coins typically sell-out quickly when released by the Mint, as coin dealers around the world compete with one another to obtain a supply of each new addition for their customers.  Color embellished coins struck in fine silver are listed in our RCM Fine Silver Department.
