Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2010 Canadian $200 Gold Coin (First Olympic Gold Medal) is that it has a unique reverse design that features a frosted cameo of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by a proof finish. This design element adds a sense of depth and dimensionality to the coin, making it stand out from other coins in the series. Additionally, the use of a frosted cameo creates a beautiful contrast between the shiny, mirror-like finish of the surrounding proof surface and the matte, frosted finish of the cameo itself. This design feature adds an extra layer of visual interest to the coin, making it a truly special piece for collectors.
