In partnership with the Royal Canadian Mint, Pubco is offering the international market a commemorative series of inserted sport-themed coins, the first of which entered circulation last February.

The images on the 17 coins issued by the Royal Canadian Mint include Inukshuks, the human-shaped stone sculptures used as markers by hunters in the tundra. The embedding process patented by Pubco both preserves and magnifies the brilliance of sterling silver and gold coins, while its slight magnifying effect emphasizes the detail of the designs, for example, those of the limited-series hologram coins.

For many years, the Royal Canadian Mint has trusted Pubco to set its most beautiful coins in superior-quality packaging. The commemorative Olympic series will be sold by the Royal Bank of Canada and Petro-Canada, and Pubco will promote it internationally at the World Money Fair [lien vers la page correspondante] next February.
