Reverse
Design:
The reverse design of this "diamond"-shaped coin features an engraved rendition of Superman's shield. Within the "S" of the shield, scenes from several Superman comic books are positioned as a unique collage that highlights Superman's long and illustrious history; this visual journey through Superman's different looks and eras is carefully covered by transparent enamel, which allows the engraving to peer through the red sheen of the "S". A laser halftone pattern behind the shield adds a graphic element that fills the background and infuses design with a classic comic book feel.

Did you know?
With strong Canadian roots, Superman was the first superhero of a genre that spawned countless new characters in the DC Comics pantheon: he inspired a new model of superhero that is more popular today than ever. And Canadian visionaries like Jeff King and David Finch continue to shape the universe of this international icon, lending their talents to its history and legacy.
Superman's many superpowers, including extraordinary strength, the ability to fly, invulnerability and even heat vision, make him the most powerful being on the planet. But these abilities also underline just how different he is from the people he makes it his duty to protect. In fiction as in real life, the last son of Krypton is a near-universal legend, and his symbol, one of the world's best-known, transcends political, linguistic and cultural barriers. It inspires hope, and stands for truth and justice for all.
