The Design:
The coin design illustrates the duality and similarities between Batman and Superman. Frosted finishes add a contrasting element to the polygon shapes that create a stunning "shattered glass" effect. As a pure silver coin struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, this item is GST/HST exempt.
The coin's reverse symbolically brings together their two logos to create a single one, which embodies both the differences and similarities between these iconic Super HeroesTM. The reverse is engraved with the date "2016" and the face value of "10 DOLLARS". It weighs just over one half ounce of 99.99% fine silver.
Dawn Of Justice:
Following the events of Man of Steel, Gotham City based vigilante Batman travels to Metropolis to take on its most revered, modern-day saviour, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. But with BatmanTM and SupermanTM at war with one another, a new threat arises, putting mankind in great danger.
SupermanTM has become widely known following the destruction of MetropolisTM in Man of SteelTM. Meanwhile, BatmanTM has always preferred to remain in the shadows and rarely allows more than a fleeting glimpse of him in action; as a result, the Dark KnightTM is considered a vigilante by most. The two characters seem worlds apart, yet they share a common purpose in the fight for justice.
