“Exploring the Splendor of the Royal Canadian Mint’s Most Prestigious Coins”
The Royal Canadian Mint is known for producing some of the most impressive limited edition coins in the world.
Recently, the Mint created a striking $20 coin in honor of Black History Month, and honored Queen Elizabeth II with a stunning black-rimmed toonie. People are still selling the latter coin on third-party sites at sky-high prices.
If you are just beginning a coin collection, there are many older Canadian coins that you may wish to acquire. The prices for the coins vary and depend on their collectible value, but most will cost you a few thousand dollars.
