Description
This 2013 lenticular special effects collector issue 50 cent coin presents Superman in his “Golden Age” as seen on the cover of Superman #1, as well as in the newest rendition of the Man of Steel as he celebrates his 75th anniversary in 2013. Just tilt the coin and Superman transforms from the way he appeared in his debut in Action Comics in 1938, to the modern muscular Superman of the present. A matching collector issue postage stamp from Canada Post is also included.
The Design:
This 50-cent cupronickel coin has a diameter of 35 millimetres, and features a laser-created lenticular reverse image. The reverse image, created by DC Comics/Warner Brothers, features an ode to Superman’s 75 years in publication. The reverse is engraved with the word “CANADA,” the date “2013,” and the face value of “50 CENTS,” as well as “SUPERMAN” in the fictitious Kryptonian language from Superman's home planet in English and French. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
Superman is widely recognized as one of the iconic images of the 20th century and beyond, and perhaps even the greatest superhero character ever created. But did you know that Superman is Canadian? Superman was actually co-created by Canadian Joe Shuster, together with Jerry Siegel, and first published in 1938. Metropolis was based on the city of Toronto, and the Daily Planet was based on the Toronto Daily Star.

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
