In 2006, the Royal Canadian Mint and Canada Post jointly issued a coin and stamp set celebrating the iconic Canadian Forces 'Snowbirds'. The coin is one of the world's first double holographic coins, and features the same two designs as the postage stamps in this set, issued by Canada Post.

As the coin is tilted in the light, the full colour images change with a dramatic effect. The first image puts us right in the cockpit and provides a first-hand view of the Snowbirds in flight from a pilot's perspective. The second image shows one of the team's hallmark formations and combines a stunning background with transparent effects to create a dynamic image of the Snowbirds in action.

Features:

• A 99.99% pure silver $5 double hologram coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint.
  
• Bullion Weight: 25.18 grams / 0.810 Troy Ounces
• A pair of mint 51¢ Snowbird stamps, on a large sheet, issued by Canada Post
  
• A souvenir sheet, uniquely cancelled to identify it as one of only 25,555 that was FLOWN ONBOARD a Snowbirds Tutor jet on March 27, 2006*.
• An information booklet packed with fascinating detail.
  
• A serialized plaque.

DID YOU KNOW? *Although the maximum authorized mintage was set at 25,555, the actual mintage produced according to the 2007 Annual Report of the Royal Canadian Mint was only 10,034, making them all the more rare, especially in their original unopened factory wrapped condition like these sets are. Your perfect gift for any occasion... Bravo Zulu!
