Description
Superman™ was the first superhero; however he spawned many more new characters including the amazing amazon warrior princess, Wonder WomanTM. This DC Comics “Originals” coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint is a $20 denomination featuring a selective colour image of Wonder WomanTM, and weighs just over one ounce of pure silver. Mintage is limited to only 10,000 coins. As a pure silver coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint, this item is GST/HST exempt.
The Design:
The reverse image mimics a comic book splash page with a coloured and engraved rendition of Wonder WomanTM. The amazing amazon stands with her bracelets crossed, ready to reflect anything that may come her way. Detailed engraving and the use of selective colour of blue, red and yellow recreates her iconic costume and symbol. The yellow highlights her tiara, and the Lasso of Truth carried on her hip. Behind her is a view of her home Paradise Island. The classic Wonder WomanTM logo seen on the left.
The DC Comics Originals series has a classic, slightly retro style, recalling the look most comic book fans grew up with and remember fondly. Basing itself on the 1980s DC Comics style, this series celebrates one of the most established looks for the DC Comics pantheon of Super Heroes, including the amazing amazon herself, Wonder Woman™. The vintage feel extends even extends to the packaging. Each coin in the series comes enclosed in unique packaging that recreates the look of a well-loved comic book.
