Superman™ is one of the iconic images of the 20th century and beyond, and often seen as the greatest superhero ever created, and Supergirl™ is one of the most recognized additions to the Superman saga.  This new DC Comics Supergirl “Strength” coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint is a $10 denomination featuring selective full colour, and weighs just over half of an ounce of pure silver.  Mintage is limited to 30,000 coins.  As a pure silver coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint, this item is GST/HST exempt.

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 young heroine in training known as Supergirl™.    

The Design:

The reverse image mimics a comic book splash page with a coloured and engraved rendition of SupergirlTM.  She is standing with her hands on her hips, veiling her true power and a strength that rivals Superman’s.  To her right is a lasered retrospective of Supergirl’s history, including her alternate costume from the early 1980s, complete with headband.

Supergirl:

Teenager Kara Zor-el was rocketed to Earth from the dying planet Krypton. Faced with an entire world completely unrecognizable from the one she grew up in, she’s the ultimate new girl in school. A girl with astounding might, she struggles to find her identity on her new reluctant home. As the most powerful teenager on the planet, the Girl of Steel possesses all of Superman’s powers—from superhuman strength, speed, and invulnerability all the way down to his flight and enhanced senses. Still learning to control her awesome powers and lacking her cousin’s self-restraint, she may even be more dangerous than the Man of Steel. Disconnected from a world she’s still struggling to comprehend, she’ll find non-stop action and violence from her first minute on this planet.
