2015 $10 1/2 OZ FINE SILVER SUPERGIRL COIN – DC COMICS ORIGINALS: STRENGTH
 
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 DC Comics style of the 1980s, 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 SupergirlTM.
 
SPECIAL FEATURES
First wave in an exciting new series! Celebrate DC Comics’ greatest Super Heroes presented in their classic form, just the way you love them!
Royal Canadian Mint first! First appearance of Supergirl on a Canadian coin!
While selective colour recreates Supergirl’s classic look, laser engraving technology on the background elements recreates the look of inked comic book art, while creating a contrast between sheen and shadows that gives the design a multi-layered feel.
Vintage feel extends to the packaging! Each coin in the series comes enclosed in unique packaging that recreates the look of a well-loved comic book—an added nod to the medium that first introduced these characters, but also a fun element that makes this series a one-of-a-kind collecting experience!
 
DESIGN
The reverse design mimics a comic book splash page with a coloured and engraved rendition of Supergirl. The Girl of SteelTM stands cheerfully with 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.
