Superheroes are on everyone’s mind right now, from feature-film lovers to precious metal collectors. The Royal Canadian Mint has led the way in 2016 with a variety of superhero-themed coins, many focusing on the recently released Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice film. Today, a new product from the RCM commemorates Superman with an iconic depiction of his “S” shield.
Coin Highlights:
Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in 1933, when the writer and artist (respectively) were just high school students living in Cleveland, Ohio. The fictional superhero lived a double life in the city of Metropolis, spending his days as the mild-mannered newspaper report Clark Kent, and rescuing the world from danger as Superman when the time called.
His origin story states that Superman was born as Kal-El on the planet of Krypton, and sent to Earth for his own good just moments before his home planet was destroyed. Raised in Kansas on a farm by humble people, he was brought up with a strong moral compass.
The Royal Canadian Mint has produced a variety of Superman-themed coins so far in 2016, but none is as brilliant as the 2016 1 oz Canadian Superman Shield coin. A limited release product that stands alone in its own series, this superman coin features only the image of the icon’s “S” shield.
The obverse side of the 2016 1 oz Canadian Superman Shield coin includes the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, as created in 2003 by Susanna Blunt.
The Royal Canadian Mint is one of the finest refineries and mints in the world, striking circulation currency for the nation of Canada as well as countless smaller nations such as the Bahamas and New Zealand, to name a few.

"I think, this Superman .9999er is going to be a winner. Low mintage. The comic book collectors will be involved, with stackers, investors, and collectors. Hope there are some left next payday."
"These coins really are "Super". Very bright and crisp images. Near to proof quality. You really have to look closely to notice any minor scratches. Guess those are to be expected as they are packaged by human hands. Am considering more of these. And as always we are pleased with the speed in which hey were shipped."
"your service is uncompared with any others. great productandgreat service."
"These Superman Silver Maples are SUPER!! And what is even more super than Superman and Superman Silver Maples, you might ask? Let me tell you, JMB. Seriously. I've been a JMB customer for about a year now, and I can tell you without a doubt, JMB has exceeded my expectations in every way imaginable: selection, website functionality, competitive pricing, best customer service--bar none, professional handling of merchandise, prompt service and shipping, I could go on and on. But what is most revealing about a company is how they handle honest mistakes. JMB stands tall. Thanks JMB for another SUPER experience!! Terminator Vs Superman... I'll be back."
"Great coin HSN had it on tv for $39.95 today. Look forward to growing my collection with JM bullion"
"Beautiful coin. I wasn't sure if I would like it, only purchased 2, wish I would have purchased a few more. A great gift for that superman fan."
"What a beautiful coin! Packaged incredibly well. Boyfriend was so happy to receive this. :)"
"I have shopped with most of the large and some of the smaller bullion dealers and I have been supremely happy with all my orders from JMBullion. They outdistance their competition by leaps and bounds. In QUALITY; PRICE; and CUSTOMER SERVICE. Why shop anywhere else when you can shop with the BEST? JMBULLION!!!"
"This is one coin that the picture does not represent very well. Those that have them know exactly what I am talking about. Don't let the premium scare you, the mintage is low for the popularity of Superman and worldwide distribution. The Superman Shield appears almost proof-like and the surrounding engraving and lettering accent the shield. Spectacular in appearance and a coin worth collecting and gifting. JMB deserves all the praise and positive reviews it receives, they earn it on every transaction."
"These coins look better in person than on the screen. It is a reverse proof on the obverse. This coin shines."
