There are perhaps no two superheroes more beloved by multiple generations than Superman and Batman.

The Royal Canadian Mint introduced the Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice coin series earlier in 2016 to commemorate the recent release of the feature film by the same name. The proof coin series features low mintage levels, custom, graphic design cases, and four coins in total.
In the first release of the series, the Dawn of Justice logo featuring a combination of Batman and Superman logos was featured on the coin’s reverse. The second release highlighted the Man of Steel, while this third release highlights the Dark Knight. An upcoming, final release in the series focuses on Wonder Woman.
On the obverse face of each coin you’ll find the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II from Susanna Blunt. Engravings include her name, the phrase “D.G. Regina,” and “Canada.”
The reverse side of the coin features a contrasting set of polygon shapes, with a matte finish, that give the appearance of shattered glass for the background. Batman is finished with a black coating, bringing him to life in a colorized image. Engravings on this side include the coin’s face value, year of issue, and Batman’s name in the Kryptonian syllabic writing system from Canadian linguist Dr. Christine Schreyer.
Founded in 1908, the Royal Canadian Mint is still relatively young compared to its North American counterparts. However, the RCM is one of the world’s most reputable minting facilities, producing the finest range of .9999 pure products.
