Comment

To celebrate the two countries' independent spirit and long-standing partnership, the Royal Canadian Mint and United States Mint join together in presenting the 2019 Pride of Two Nations Limited Edition Two-Coin Set. This unique special set commemorates Canada's and the United States' nationhood with coins that capture their rich history, pride, and close relationship as neighbors and partners.

 

From Certificate of Authenticity brochure included in original government packaging:

This first-ever two-coin set features a United States Mint American Eagle One Ounce Silver Coin with an enhanced reverse proof finish and a Royal Canadian Mint One Ounce Silver Maple Lead Coin with a modified proof finish.

Modified Proof Coin Finish

A proof coin is one with the highest possible quality--a frosted image is struck against a brilliant background as many as three times to achieve an incredibly crisp impression with amazing detail.  The inscriptions on a proof coin are normally frosted.

The 2019 $5 One Ounce Silver Maple Leaf Coin in the Pride of Two Nations Limited Edition Two-Coin Set has a proof finish.  The inscriptions, however, have the same natural shine of silver as the other design elements instead of a frosted appearance, creating a “modified” proof finish.

Both finishes were created specifically for the coins featured in this set.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the "Pride of Two Nations" coin is that it was a collaborative effort between the Royal Canadian Mint and the United States Mint. It is the first-ever joint coin program between the two countries, symbolizing the long-standing friendship and shared values between Canada and the United States.
