Comment
Canada initially minted 2023 coins with a transitional effigy of Queen Elizabeth II while a new effigy of Charles III is prepared (or else if a new law is voted).This coin is only found in toe 2023 Fine Silver Proof Set - Kathleen "Kit" Coleman: Pioneer Journalist.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of materials, with a gold (.9999) plated silver (.9999) design, also known as selective plating. This process involves depositing a thin layer of gold onto a base metal, in this case, silver, creating a striking contrast between the two metals. The use of selective plating allows for a more intricate and detailed design, making the coin stand out from others. Additionally, the coin's weight of 9 grams is relatively unusual for a coin of its size and denomination, adding to its unique features.
