The coin design is based on the
action film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. This was the first live-action film to feature
both Batman and Superman, as well as the first theatrical film to feature
live-action portrayals of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, and Cyborg/ It weighs just over one ounce of
99.99% fine silver, with a 40 mm diameter. Mintage is limited to
12,500. GST/HST
exempt.
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. Each
superhero’s name is engraved in the Kryptonian syllabic writing system
established by Canadian linguist Dr. Christine Schreyer.
The
reverse image combines the application of robust colour over intricate
engraving to bring to life artistic depictions of Superman, Wonder Woman, and
Batman—the “trinity” of the DC Comics Universe. Throughout the image's
background, carefully positioned polygon shapes are contrasted through the use
of frosted finishes in order to create a stunning “shattered glass” effect;
this visual element is highly symbolic, for it represents the “shattering” of
what was established in Man of Steel and the challenges that lie ahead
after Superman has revealed himself to the world. Within three of these shapes
are the iconic SUPER HEROESTM themselves: Wonder Woman in a battle-ready
stance as she holds her Phoenician-inscribed sword before her; Superman
appears as a pillar of strength, his gaze steady on the horizon while the
viewer’s eye is naturally drawn to the iconic red and yellow S-shield
emblazoned across his chest; and Batman, whose gritty expression beneath
his cowl adds a brooding feel to this likeness of the seasoned crime-fighter.
Each Super Hero’s name is engraved next to them in the intricate Kryptonian
syllabic writing system. The reverse is engraved with the date "2016"
and the face value of "20 DOLLARS".
