This officially licensed issue pays tribute to the cover of Superman Annual #1 from the New 52 era, translating modern comic-book artwork into a carefully executed numismatic design. Struck from 31.39g of exceptionally pure .9999 silver, it carries a Canadian legal-tender face value of $20 and combines the recognisability of Superman with the Royal Canadian Mint's advanced coloured proof production. With a maximum authorised mintage of 10,000 examples, the coin was created for collectors of silver, comics and contemporary pop culture rather than ordinary circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse celebrates Superman in the distinctive armoured costume associated with DC's New 52 continuity. The dynamic comic-cover composition, set against imagery associated with his Fortress of Solitude, uses selective colour to preserve the energy of the original illustration while retaining the finely engraved details and contrasting surfaces of a collector coin. On the obverse is Susanna Blunt's portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, linking the modern licensed artwork to the established tradition of Canadian royal coinage. The 38mm format allows the artwork to remain prominent while maintaining the familiar proportions of a one-ounce Royal Canadian Mint proof silver issue. The strong visual contrast between polished metal, frosted engraving and colour gives the finished piece a distinctive display appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally presented in comic-inspired collector packaging, the 2014 Superman Annual #1 silver coin is well suited to collectors developing a themed collection of Royal Canadian Mint superhero releases or historic Superman cover designs. The Mint's published maximum of 10,000 should be distinguished from its reported final sales or production figure; a precise serialised certificate number belongs to the individual coin and should never be inferred from the release information alone. Original packaging, certificate of authenticity, capsule and the condition of coloured or proof surfaces can materially affect collector interest, so the exact supplied example should be checked before publication. At EverydayBullion, this issue offers an engaging blend of .9999 Canadian silver, officially licensed DC Comics imagery and an identifiable modern comic-book milestone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Royal Canadian Mint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57021254730114,"sku":"RCM-23133","price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/5555\/1874\/files\/5214b559-ac04-4b2c-9f8b-b3c966f457ed.png?v=1793984282","url":"https:\/\/www.everydaybullion.co.uk\/products\/2014-canada-superman-annual-1-2012-1oz-9999-silver-20-coloured-proof-coin-royal-canadian-mint","provider":"Everyday Bullion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
