There’s no genre of feature films more popular right now than superheroes.

The comic universe that includes rival DC and Marvel superheroes all started with the introduction of one hero: Superman. The world’s first superhero appeared in 1938, and is returning to the big screen to do battle with Batman for the hearts and minds of humans.
2016 Canadian $10 Silver Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice Superman Coins are the second release in a planned series of four coins that features the combined Dawn of Justice logo, which superimposes the Superman “S” over Batman’s shield. Superman represents the second release, and will be followed by Batman and Wonder Woman coins.
On the reverse of the coin is the image of Superman, standing tall and strong with his cape blowing in the wind. The background features the shattered glass design first introduced on these Dawn of Justice coins. Included in the background is the Kryptonian syllabic writing system created by Canadian linguist Dr. Christine Schreyer.
The coin’s obverse face bears the image of Queen Elizabeth II. Created by Susanna Blunt, it includes engravings of “Elizabeth II,” “D.G. Regina,” and the word “Canada.”
The Royal Canadian Mint was founded in 1908 and was the result of an increase in precious metal mining in the Yukon Territories. It operates two facilities, and has created some of the most stunning gold and silver coins in world history.
